The Stokes complex for virtual elements in three dimensions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The present paper has two objectives. On one side, we develop and test numerically divergence free Virtual Elements in three dimensions, for variable ``polynomial order. These are the natural extension of the two-dimensional divergence free VEM elements, with some modification that allows for a better computational efficiency. We test the element's performance both for the Stokes and (diffusion dominated) Navier-Stokes equation. The second, and perhaps main, motivation is to show that our scheme, also in three dimensions, enjoys an underlying discrete Stokes complex structure. We build a pair of virtual discrete spaces based on general polytopal partitions, the first one being scalar and the second one being vector valued, such that when coupled with our velocity and pressure spaces, yield a discrete Stokes complex.
