On the computer implementation of a coupled boundary and finite element method for the bidimensional exterior steady stokes problem

Abstract

Abstract A numerical technique based on the coupling of boundary and finite element methods has been developed by the author for the steady Stokes problem in an unbounded domain. The present paper deals with the implementation of the coupled program in the two‐dimensional case. Computational results are given for a particular problem which can be seen as a good test case for the accuracy of the method.
