Abstract:
The incompressibility constraint makes Navier-Stokes equations
dicult. A reformulation to a better posed problem is needed before solving it
numerically. The sequential regularization method (SRM) is a reformulation
which combines the penalty method with a stabilization method in the context
of constrained dynamical systems and has the benet of both methods. In the
paper, we study the existence and uniqueness for the solution of the SRM and
provide a simple proof of the convergence of the solution of the SRM to the
solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. We also give error estimates for the
time discretized SRM formulation.
