Abstract
Anisotropic meshes are important for efficiently resolving incompressible flow problems that include boundary layer or corner singularity phenomena. Unfortunately, the stability of standard inf-sup stable mixed approximation methods is prone to degeneracy whenever the mesh aspect ratio becomes large. As an alternative, a stabilized mixed approximation method is considered here. Specifically, a robust a priori error estimate for the local jump stabilized Q1-P0 approximation introduced by Kechkar & Silvester (1992, Math. Comp., 58, 1-10) is established for anisotropic meshes. Our numerical results demonstrate that the stabilized Q1-P0 method is competitive with the nonconforming nonparametric rotated approximation method introduced by Rannacher & Turek (1992, Numer. Meth. Part. Diff. Equations, 8, 97-111).
