On the Convergence of a Galerkin Method to Solve the Initial Value Problem of a Stabilized Navier-Stokes Equation

  • Chapter
Numerische Behandlung von Differentialgleichungen

Abstract

We consider approximations of Hopf’s weak form of the Navier-Stokes equation. The initial-boundary value problem of each of these “stabilized” equations has a unique weak solution which is stable on any compact time interval, too. This solution is computable by means of Hopf’s Galerkin method, because in case of any stabilized equation the whole sequence of all Hopf-approximationsis convergent. The formulas of the Hopf-Galerkin method are given explicitly.
