Abstract:
We present a method for solving the Stokes problem in unbounded domains. It relies on the coupling of the transparent boundary operator and a spectral method in spherical coordinates. It is done explicitly by the use of vector-valued spherical harmonics. A uniform inf-sup condition is proved, which provides an optimal error estimate.References
