Abstract:
We approximate the Stokes operator on an exterior domain in three dimensions by a truncated problem on a finite subdomain. A third-order artificial boundary condition is introduced. We discuss the approximating behavior of the truncated problem and its discretization in a finite element space. Combined errors arising from truncation and discretization are considered.References
