A Posteriori Error Estimators for the Quasi-Newtonian Stokes Problem with a General Boundary Condition

Abstract

In this paper, we approach two nonlinear differential equations applied in fluid mechanics by finite element methods (FEM). Our objective is to approach the solution to these problems; the first one is the “p-Laplacian” problem and the second one is the “Quasi-Newtonian Stokes” problem with a general boundary condition. To study and analyze our solutions, we introduce the a posteriori error indicator; this technique allows us to control the error, and each is shown the equivalent between the true and the a posterior errors estimators. The performance of the finite element method by this type of general boundary condition is presented via different numerical simulations.
