Abstract: The isogeometric approximation of the Stokes problem in a trimmed domain is studied. This setting is characterized by an underlying mesh unfitted with the boundary of the physical domain making the imposition of the essential boundary conditions a challenging problem. A very popular strategy is to rely on the so-called Nitsche method cite{MR3264337}. We show that the Nitsche method lacks stability in some degenerate trimmed domain configurations, potentially polluting the computed solutions. After extending the stabilization procedure of cite{MR4155233} to incompressible flow problems, we show that we recover the well-posedness of the formulation and, consequently, optimal a priori error estimates. Numerical experiments illustrating stability and converge rates are included.
