Stokes on complex geometries

 

Hi,

did anyone play around with the stokes solver on more complex geometries? I only seem to get something senseful using a stabalized stokes like:

scalar = FiniteElement("Lagrange", "triangle", 1)
vector = FiniteElement("Vector Lagrange", "triangle", 2)
system = vector + scalar

(v, q) = TestFunctions(system)
(u, p) = TrialFunctions(system)

f = Function(vector)
h = Function(scalar)
nu = Function(scalar)

beta  = 0.2
delta = beta*h*h

a = (nu*dot(grad(v), grad(u)) - div(v)*p + q*div(u) + delta*dot(grad(q), grad(p)))*dx
L = dot(v + mult(delta, grad(q)), f)*dx

which is fine, but when I compare the solution to another FEM package, they do not quite match. Was there already some benchmarking done?

cheers,

Alex
