Abstract: We prove in this paper the convergence of the Marker and cell (MAC) scheme for the dis-cretization of the steady-state and unsteady-state incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in primitive variables on non-uniform Cartesian grids, without any regularity assumption on the solution. A priori estimates on solutions to the scheme are proven ; they yield the existence of discrete solutions and the compactness of sequences of solutions obtained with family of meshes the space step of which tends to zero. We then establish that the limit is a weak solution to the continuous problem.


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.
