Abstract
We give a survey on recent developments of stabilization methods based on local projection type. The considered class of problems covers scalar convection–diffusion equations, the Stokes problem and the linearized Navier–Stokes equations. A new link of local projection to the streamline diffusion method is shown. Numerical tests for different type of boundary layers arising in convection–diffusion problems illustrate the stabilizing properties of the method.
