A finite element discretization of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with mixed boundary conditions
ESAIM: Modélisation mathématique et analyse numérique, Tome 43 (2009) no. 6, pp. 1185-1201.

We consider a variational formulation of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with mixed boundary conditions and prove that the variational problem admits a solution provided that the domain satisfies a suitable regularity assumption. Next, we propose a finite element discretization relying on the Galerkin method and establish a priori and a posteriori error estimates.
