摘要
This paper deals with the equations of a stationary viscous flow, when the density is a given function of the space variable. Two formulations are studied, according to whether the unknowns are the velocity and the pressure or the momentum and the pressure. In both cases, when the variation of the density is not too strong, the well-posedness of the problem and of its approximation by several standard finite elements is proved, and estimates for the error between the exact and discrete solutions are given. Some numerical tests which are in complete agreement with these results are presented.
