摘要：In this paper, the quadratic nonconforming brick element (MSLK element) introduced in [10] is used for the 3D Stokes equations. The instability for the mixed element pair MSLK-P (1) is analyzed, where the vector-valued MSLK element approximates the velocity and the piecewise P (1) element approximates the pressure. As a cure, we adopt the piecewise P (1) macroelement to discretize the pressure instead of the standard piecewise P (1) element on cuboid meshes. This new pair is stable and the optimal error estimate is achieved. Numerical examples verify our theoretical analysis.
