The steady Navier-Stokes/energy system with temperature-dependent viscosity. II: The discrete problem and numerical experiments. (English) Zbl 1127.76019

Summary: In this second part, we analyse the associated discrete problem arising from a conforming finite element method formulation of the mathematical model presented in the first part [see the foregoing entry Zbl 1127.76018]. Thus, existence and uniqueness of the discrete solution when using small enough data are stated following the same strategy used in the continuous case, with a Cea’s type error estimate established as the main result. Some numerical experiments, steady and unsteady, are performed, which allow us to validate the previous mathematical model and its discrete approximation.
