Abstract

This work deals with the stabilisation of mixed methods for the Stokes problem on anisotropic meshes. For this, we extend a method proposed previously in Liao and Silvester (IMA J Numer Anal 33(2):413-431, 2013), to cover the case in which the mesh contains anisotropically refined corners. This modification consists of adding extra jump terms in selected edges connecting small shape regular with large anisotropic elements. We prove stability and convergence of the proposed method, and provide numerical evidence for the fact that our approach successfully removes the dependence on the anisotropy.
