Publisher Summary This chapter discusses stabilized finite element formulations for
incompressible flow computations. Finite element computation of incompressible flows
involve two main sources of potential numerical instabilities associated with the Galerkin
formulation of a problem. The stabilization techniques that are reviewed more extensively
than others are the Galerkin/least-squares (GLS), streamline-upwind/Petrov–Galerkin
(SUPG), and pressure-stabilizing/Petrov–Galerkin (PSPG) formulations. The SUPG …
