Finite element error analysis for a projection-based variational multiscale method with nonlinear eddy viscosity. (English) Zbl 1154.76032

Summary: The paper presents a finite element error analysis for a projection-based variational multiscale (VMS) method for incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. In the VMS method, the influence of unresolved scales on the resolved small scales is modeled by a Smagorinsky-type turbulent viscosity.
