Abstract

The structure of the finite element method offers a user a range of choices. This is especially true for solving incompressible fluid problems, where theory points to a number of stable finite element formulations. Using automation tools, we implement and examine various stable formulations for the steady-state Stokes equations. It is demonstrated that the expressiveness of the FEniCS Project components allows solvers for the Stokes problem that use various element formulations to be created with ease.
