Abstract: | The conforming spectral element methods are applied to solve the linearized Navier–Stokes equations by the help of stabilization techniques like those applied for finite elements. The stability and convergence analysis is carried out and essential numerical results are presented demonstrating the high accuracy of the method as well as its robustness. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
