A finite element method by patch reconstruction for the Stokes problem using mixed formulations

Abstract In this paper, we develop a patch reconstruction finite element method for the Stokes problem. The weak formulation of the interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin is employed. The proposed method has a great flexibility in velocity–pressure space pairs whose stability properties are confirmed by the inf–sup tests. Numerical examples show the applicability and efficiency of the proposed method.
