文摘This paper proposes a weak Galerkin finite element method to solve incompressible quasi-Newtonian Stokes equations. We use piecewise polynomials of degrees k + 1(k 0) and k for the velocity and pressure in the interior of elements, respectively, and piecewise polynomials of degrees k and k + 1 for the boundary parts of the velocity and pressure, respectively. Wellposedness of the discrete scheme is established. The method yields a globally divergence-free velocity approximation. Optimal priori error estimates are derived for the velocity gradient and pressure approximations. Numerical results are provided to confirm the theoretical results.
