A Two-level Finite Element Method for Viscoelastic Fluid Flow: Non-smooth Initial Data

Publication date 22 November 2012

Abstract: In this article, we analyze a two-level finite element method for the equations of motion arising in the flow of 2D Oldroyd model with non-smooth initial data. It involves solving the non-linear problem on a coarse grid of mesh-size

H

and solving a linearized problem on a fine grid of mesh-size

h, h < < H

. The method gives optimal convergence rate for velocity in

H^{1}

-norm and for pressure in

L^{2}

-norm. The analysis takes in to account the loss of regularity of the solution of the Oldroyd model at initial time.
