Abstract: We introduce a residual-based stabilized formulation for incompressible Navier-Stokes flow that maintains discrete (and, for divergence-conforming methods, strong) mass conservation for inf-sup stable spaces with H1-conforming pressure approximation, while providing optimal convergence in the diffusive regime, robustness in the advective regime, and energetic stability. The method is formally derived using the variational multiscale (VMS) concept, but with a discrete fine-scale pressure field which is solved for alongside the coarse-scale unknowns such that the coarse and fine scale velocities separately satisfy discrete mass conservation. We show energetic stability for the full Navier-Stokes problem, and we prove convergence and robustness for a linearized model (Oseen flow), under the assumption of a divergence-conforming discretization. Numerical results indicate that all properties extend to the fully nonlinear case and that the proposed formulation can serve to model unresolved turbulence.
