Abstract

A simple nonconforming quadrilateral Stokes element based on “rotated” multi-linear shape functions is analyzed. On strongly nonuniform meshes the usual parametric version of this element suffers from a lack of consistency, while its nonparametric counterpart turns out to be convergent with optimal orders. This theoretical result is confirmed by numerical tests.
