Résumé:

Abstract : In this paper we study the Stokes problem with some different boundary conditions. We establish a decoupled variational formulation into a system of velocity and a Poisson equation for the pressure. The continuous and corresponding discrete system do not need an inf-sup condition. Hence,the velocity is approximated with curl conforming finite elements and the pressure with standard continuous elements. Next, we establish optimal a priori and a posteriori estimates and we finish this paper with numerical tests.
