Abstract

This paper is devoted to the approximation of a non standard Stokes problem by spectral methods: in addition to the pressure assigned on a part of the boundary, the tangential vorticity is given on another part of the boundary. Several spectral discretizations are proposed and analysed. The inf-sup conditions, associated with the discretizations of this problem and with the spurious modes that follow from them, are thoroughly studied.
