Abstract:

We present in this paper a rigorous error analysis of certain
projection schemes for the approximation of the unsteady
incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The error analysis is
accomplished by interpreting the respective
projection schemes as second-order time discretizations of a perturbed
system which approximates the Navier-Stokes equations.
Numerical results in agreement with the error analysis are also presented.
