Abstract: We study an anisotropic modified Crouzeix--Raviart finite element method to the rotational form of the stationary incompressible Navier--Stokes equation with large irrotational body forces. We present an anisotropic H1 error estimate for the velocity of a modified Crouzeix--Raviart finite element method for the Navier--Stokes equation. The modified Crouzeix--Raviart finite element scheme was obtained using a lifting operator that maps the velocity test functions to H(div;Omega)-conforming finite element spaces. Because no shape-regularity mesh conditions are imposed, anisotropic meshes can be used for analysis. The core idea of the proof involves using the relation between the Raviart--Thomas and Crouzeix--Raviart finite element spaces. Furthermore, we present a discrete Sobolev inequality under a semi-regular mesh condition to estimate the stability of the proposed method and confirm the obtained results through numerical experiments.
