Abstract

In this paper, we solve the time-dependent Stokes problem by the weak Galerkin (WG) finite element method. Full-discrete WG finite element scheme is obtained by applying the implicit backward Euler method for time discretization. Optimal order error estimates are established for the corresponding numerical approximation in H1 norm for the velocity, and L2 norm for both the velocity and the pressure in semi-discrete forms and full-discrete forms, respectively. Some computational results are presented to demonstrate the accuracy, convergence and efficiency of the method.
