Stability and convergence of the two-step BDF for the incompressible Navier-Stokes problem
Emmrich, Etienne
Inst. Mathematik
The incompressible Navier-Stokes problem is discretised in time by means of the two-step backward differentiation formula with constant step sizes. Existence and stability of a time discrete solution is proved as well as the convergence of a piecewise polynomial prolongation towards a weak solution. The results presented cover both the two- and three-dimensional case. Furthermore, a linearisation that is based upon a modification of the convective term using a second-order extrapolation is considered.
