摘要: For a generalized quasi-Newtonian flow, a new stabilized method focused on the low-order velocity-pressure pairs, (bi)linear/(bi)linear and (bi)linear/constant element, is presented. The pressure projection stabilized method is extended from Stokes problems to quasi-Newtonian flow problems. The theoretical framework developed here yields an estimate bound, which measures error in the approximate velocity in theW1,r(Ω) norm and that of the pressure in the L(Ω) (1/r +1/r´ = 1). The power law model and the Carreau model are special ones of the quasi-Newtonian flow problem discussed in this paper. Moreover, a residual-based posterior bound is given. Numerical experiments are presented to confirm the theoretical results.
