Notes:
In this paper the development and behaviour of a new finite element algorithm for viscous incompressible flow is presented. The stability and background theory are discussed and the numerical performance is considered for some benchmark problems. The Taylor-Galerkin approach naturally leads to a time-stepping algorithm which is shown to perform well for a wide range of Reynolds numbers (1 ≤ Re ≤ 400).A conventional definition for Re is assumed. Various modifications to the algorithm are investigated, particularly with respect to their effects on stability and accuracy.
