Stability and convergence of the reform postprocessing Galerkin method (Q5933583)

This paper is concerned with the two-dimensional periodic Navier-Stokes equations in some Hilbert space \(H\) : \(\frac{du}{dt} + \nu Au + B(u,u)= f\) with the initial condition \( u(0)= u_0\), where \(A\) is the Stokes operator and \(B\) is the projection of the nonlinearity on the space of divergence-free functions. The authors analyse the properties of numerical scheme based on the reform postprocessing Galerkin method (RPG). Obtained results show that the RPG scheme and the standard Galerkin scheme (SG) with high modes are of the almost same stability in the \(H^1(\Omega)^2\)-norm. Some important convergence results corresponding to the SG scheme and RPG scheme are also provided.
