Abstract

A Legendre spectral tau approximation scheme for solving the two-dimensional stationary incompressible Stokes equations is considered. Based on the vorticity-stream function formulation and variational forms, boundary value and normal derivative of vorticity are computed. A factorization technique for matrix stems based on the Schur decomposition is derived. Several numerical experiments are performed.
