Abstract

Using the T-coercivity theory as advocated in Chesnel and Ciarlet (2013) [25], we propose a new variational formulation of the Stokes problem which does not involve nonlocal operators. With this new formulation, unstable finite element pairs are stabilized. In addition, the numerical scheme is easy to implement, and a better approximation of the velocity and the pressure is observed numerically when the viscosity is small.
