Abstract

In this paper the performance of various stabilized mixed finite element methods based on the lowest equal-order polynomial pairs (i.e., P 1 − P 1 or Q 1 − Q 1) are numerically investigated for the stationary Stokes equations: penalty, regular, multiscale enrichment, and local Gauss integration methods. Comparisons between them will be carried out in terms of the critical factors: stabilization parameters, convergence rates, consistence, and mesh effects. It is numerically drawn that the local Gauss integration method is a favorite method among these methods.
