Iterative techniques for time dependent Stokes problems. (English) Zbl 1030.76506

The paper is concerned with numerical solution of the coupled systems of discrete equations resulting from implicit time stepping procedures for the linearized Navier- Stokes problem. As spatial discretization the authors use a mixed finite element method. They build preconditioners which give rise to iterative rates of convergence that are independent of both the mesh size as well as time step and Reynolds number parameter.
