Convergence of the marker-and-cell scheme for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on non-uniform grids (Q1704820): Difference between revisions

The authors prove the convergence of the Marker-and-Cell scheme for the discretization of the steady-state and time-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in primitive variables, on non-uniform Cartesian grids, without any regularity assumption on the solution. A priori discrete estimates are proved. These estimates are used to prove the existence of discrete solutions and the compactness of sequences of solutions obtained with family of meshes. Using these compactness results, it is shown that the limit of the sequences of the discrete solutions is a weak solution to the continuous problem.
