Topic: 

Divergence-Conforming Finite Element Methods for the Incompressible
Navier-Stokes Equations

Description: 

A new family of mixed finite element methods for the Stokes and
incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is presented. It is inf-sup
stable and consistent, such that arbistrarily high order approximations
can be achieved by increasing the polynomial degree. Furthermore, the
discrete velocities are pointwise divergence free, therefore allowing to
apply continuous Navier-Stokes result. We will discuss a discontinuous
and a continuous branch of this family and address its relation to the
MAC scheme.
