## General Description

 ADVERTISMENT STYLE no numerical details!!!

### Theory

The aim of this application is to solve the well known set of Navier-Stokes equations. The problem suffers from severe locking and/or instability using linear FEM.

$\partial_{t}\mathbf{u}-\nu\Delta\mathbf{u} + \mathbf{u}\cdot\nabla\mathbf{u}+\nabla p = \mathbf{f} \quad \text{in} \quad \Omega, ]0,T[$

$\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \nabla\cdot\mathbf{u} = 0 \quad \text{in} \quad \Omega, ]0,T[$

$\mathbf{u} = \mathbf{u_{0}} \quad \text{in} \quad \Omega, t=0$

$\mathbf{u} = \mathbf{0} \qquad \text{in} \Gamma, t\in ]0,T[$

Different approaches could be chosen to solve this problem. Fractional step, Subgrid scale stabilization, GLS are among the others.

### Numerical approach

All numerical details here.

This is a part quite open, depending on the application we are considering.

Every physical problem is solved defining many different ingredients. Try to be quite schematic.

## ASGS(Algebraic Sub Grid Scale)

The basic idea of this method is to approximate the effect of the continuous solution which can not be resolved by the finite element mesh on the discrete finite element solution.

$(\rho \partial_{t}\mathbf{u},\mathbf{v})+ \mu(\nabla\mathbf{u},\nabla\mathbf{v})+(\rho\mathbf{a}\cdot\nabla\mathbf{u},\mathbf{v})-(p,\nabla\cdot\mathbf{v})+(q,\nabla\cdot\mathbf{u}) +(\rho\partial_{t}\mathbf{u}-\mu\Delta\mathbf{u} + \rho\mathbf{a}\cdot\nabla\mathbf{u}+\nabla p,\mu\Delta\mathbf{v} + \rho\mathbf{a}\cdot\nabla\mathbf{v}+\nabla q)_{\tau1,t} +(\rho\nabla\cdot\mathbf{u},\nabla\cdot\mathbf{v})_{\tau2} =\langle\mathbf{f},\mathbf{v}\rangle+(\mathbf{f},\mu\Delta\mathbf{v} + \rho\mathbf{a}\cdot\nabla\mathbf{v}+\nabla q))_{\tau1,t}$
