A standard approach to the non-stationary, incompressible Navier-Stokes model is to split the problem into linearized auxiliary problems of Oseen type. In this paper, a unified numerical analysis for finite element discretizations using the local projection stabilization method with either equal-order or inf-sup stable velocitypressure pairs in the case of continuous pressure approximation is presented. Moreover, a careful comparison of both variants is given.

Consider the non-stationary incompressible Navier-Stokes model )*+" in ! in # "%$'&($ #"%$'&($ 435$76 for velocity and pressure in a bounded domain -,/.10 , 2 . A usual approach is to semi-discretize in time first with an 8 -stable implicit scheme [17]. In each time step, the resulting problems can be solved via a fixed-point or Newton-type scheme [17, 22]. This leads to auxiliary problems of Oseen type (1.1) (1.2) 9;:=< >?$#@BACD? #EFGHIJKLM NO" in $ in $ E P)R UJV 1W 9BX T QP)R 9;S T with 0 , and 0 , with coefficients KMYZ" a new right-hand side (stemming from time discretization). The Galerkin approximation of (1.1), (1.2) may suffer from two problems: violation of the discrete inf-sup ![ \E]\_^ `@ac bedfhgji (or Babuška-Brezzi) stability condition and dominating advection, i.e., . The traditional way to cope with both problems in a common framework is the combination of the streamline-upwind/Petrov-Galerkin method (SUPG) [7] and the pressure-stabilization/Petrov-Galerkin method (PSPG) [18]. An overview about residual stabilized methods can be found in [5, 24]. More recent results for k - finite elements are proven in [20]. This class of residual based stabilization techniques is still quite popular, since they are robust and easy to implement. Nevertheless, they have severe drawbacks which mainly stem from the strong coupling between velocity and pressure in the stabilization terms [5]. Therefore, other stabilization techniques have appeared recently, in particular the edge-stabilization method [5, 8] and variational multiscale (VMS) methods [9, 13, 15, 16]. We emphasize that almost all stabilization methods can be interpreted as special VMS methods. The key idea of VMS methods is a separation of scales: large scales, small scales, and unresolved scales. The influence of the unresolved scales on the other scales has to be modeled. Mostly, it is assumed that the unresolved scales do not influence the large scales. l Received November 29, 2007.

In most papers, an equal-order interpolation of velocity-pressure is applied; see, e.g., [2, 9]. Besides the rather simple implementation into existing codes, a formal reason is appearantly mn " that in the Euler limit no second-order derivatives occur. Other authors prefer discrete inf-sup stable velocity-pressure pairs [16] as this is the “natural” choice from regularity point poq" of view for fixed . A comparison of both approaches is still missing. Local projection stabilization (LPS) as special VMS-type methods are of current interest [4, 21]. Here the influence of the unresolved scales on the small scales is modeled by additional artificial diffusion terms for the small scales. In particular, the sub-grid viscosity model [14] can be interpreted as a special LPS method. In Section 3 of this paper, we present a unified theory of LPS methods for equal-order and inf-sup stable pairs in the case of continuous pressure approximation. In Section 4, a comparison of both variants is given with respect to theory and simple numerical experiments. \Br\tsGu v s wxy/z sGu this for the norm in thew Sobolev spaces w|{ the standard notation U >Throughout 9;S S >wx*$'paper, are used.

The idea of LPS-methods is to split the discrete function spaces into small and large scales and to add stabilization terms of diffusiontype acting only on the small scales.
