Superconvergence of finite volume methods for the Stokes equations. (English) Zbl 1170.76037
Summary: A general superconvergence result for finite volume method for Stokes equations is obtained by using a $$L^2$$ projection post-processing technique. This superconvergence result can be applied to different finite volume methods and to general quasi-uniform meshes.
