摘要: Based on domain decomposition, a parallel two-level finite element method for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations is proposed and analyzed. The basic idea of the method is first to solve the Navier-Stokes equations on a coarse grid, then to solve the resulted residual equations in parallel on a fine grid. This method has low communication complexity. It can be implemented easily. By local a priori error estimate for finite element discretizations, error bounds of the approximate solution are derived. Numerical results are also given to illustrate the high efficiency of the method.
