Abstract: We prove that for a given smooth initial value, if the finite element solution of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations is bounded in a certain norm with a relatively small mesh size, then the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations with this given initial value must be smooth and unique, and is successfully approximated by the numerical solution.
Usually, if there is known that a PDE problem possesses a sufficiently regular solution, then convergence of some numerical methods applied to that problem is guaranteed. The author shows that a reverse implication in the case of Navier-Stokes equations in three-dimensional polyhedral domains holds true. Namely, if a numerical solution is bounded in a certain norm for a sufficiently small mesh, then the system has a unique smooth solution which is well approximated by numerical solutions.
