Abstract: We propose and analyse an augmented mixed finite element method for the Oseen equations written in terms of velocity, vorticity, and pressure with non-constant viscosity and homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition for the velocity. The weak formulation includes least-squares terms arising from the constitutive equation and from the incompressibility condition, and we show that it satisfies the hypotheses of the Babuvska-Brezzi theory. Repeating the arguments of the continuous analysis, the stability and solvability of the discrete problem are established. The method is suited for any Stokes inf-sup stable finite element pair for velocity and pressure, while for vorticity any generic discrete space (of arbitrary order) can be used. A priori and a posteriori error estimates are derived using two specific families of discrete subspaces. Finally, we provide a set of numerical tests illustrating the behaviour of the scheme, verifying the theoretical convergence rates, and showing the performance of the adaptive algorithm guided by residual a posteriori error estimation.
