A reduced discrete inf-sup condition in L p for incompressible flows and application
ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis , Tome 49 (2015) no. 4, pp. 1219-1238.

In this work, we introduce a discrete specific inf-sup condition to estimate the L p norm, 1<p<+, of the pressure in a number of fluid flows. It applies to projection-based stabilized finite element discretizations of incompressible flows, typically when the velocity field has a low regularity. We derive two versions of this inf-sup condition: The first one holds on shape-regular meshes and the second one on quasi-uniform meshes. As an application, we derive reduced inf-sup conditions for the linearized Primitive equations of the Ocean that apply to the surface pressure in weighted L p norm. This allows to prove the stability and convergence of quite general stabilized discretizations of these equations: SUPG, Least Squares, Adjoint-stabilized and OSS discretizations.
