Abstract

This paper deals with the two-level Newton iteration method based on the pressure projection stabilized finite element approximation to solve the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes type variational inequality problem. We solve a small Navier-Stokes problem on the coarse mesh with mesh size $H$ and solve a large linearized Navier-Stokes problem on the fine mesh with mesh size $h$. The error estimates derived show that if we choose $h=\mathcal{O}(|\log h|^{1/2}H^3)$, then the two-level method we provide has the same $H^1$ and $L^2$ convergence orders of the velocity and the pressure as the one-level stabilized method. However, the $L^2$ convergence order of the velocity is not consistent with that of one-level stabilized method. Finally, we give the numerical results to support the theoretical analysis.
