Notes:
A pressure-smoothing scheme for Stokes and Navier-Stokes flows of Newtonian fluids and for Stokes flow of Maxwell fluids is described. The stress deviator obtained from the calculated velocity field is substituted into the governing equilibrium equation. The resulting equation is then solved to obtain a new, smoothed pressure by a least square finite element method.
