Analysis of HDG Methods for Oseen Equations

We propose a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method to numerically solve the Oseen equations which can be seen as the linearized version of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We use same polynomial degree to approximate the velocity, its gradient and the pressure. With a special projection and postprocessing, we obtain optimal convergence for the velocity gradient and pressure and superconvergence for the velocity. Numerical results supporting our theoretical results are provided.
