Abstract

In this paper we provide an error analysis of a fractional-step method for the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Under mild regularity assumptions on the continuous solution, we obtain first order error estimates in the time step size, both for the intermediate and the end-of-step velocities of the method; we also give some error estimates for the pressure solution.
