NONLINEAR GALERKIN METHOD FOR NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH STREAM-VORTICITY FORM

A nonlinear Galerkin finite element method is presented for the two dimensional incom- pressible Navier-Stokes equations with stream-vorticity form.the scheme is based on two finite ele- ment spaces XH and XH for the approximation of the stream and vorticity function ,defined respec- tively on a coarse grid with grid size H and a fine grid with grid size h<
