Abstract

Pseudo-compressibility methods are frequently used in computational fluid dynamics in order to cope with the algebraic difficulties caused by the incompressibility constraint. A popular example is the pressure stabilization (Petrov-Galerkin) method of T.J.R. Hughes, et al., which can be applied to the stationary as well as to the nonstationary Navier-Stokes problem. Also the classical projection method of A.J. Chorin can be interpreted as a variant of this method. This observation sheds some new light on the approximation properties of the projection method, particularly for the pressure.
