Abstract: A fully discrete Jacobi-spherical harmonic spectral method is provided for the Navier-Stokes equations in a ball. Its stability and convergence are proved. Numerical results show efficiency of this approach. The proposed method is also applicable to other problems in spherical geometry.

Key words: fully discrete Jacobi-spherical harmonic spectral method, Navier-Stokes equations in a ball, mixed coordinates
