An embedded--hybridized discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the Stokes equations
We present and analyze a new embedded--hybridized discontinuous Galerkin
finite element method for the Stokes problem. The method has the attractive
properties of full hybridized methods, namely an -conforming
velocity field, pointwise satisfaction of the continuity equation and \emph{a
priori} error estimates for the velocity that are independent of the pressure.
The embedded--hybridized formulation has advantages over a full hybridized
formulation in that it has fewer global degrees-of-freedom for a given mesh and
the algebraic structure of the resulting linear system is better suited to fast
iterative solvers. The analysis results are supported by a range of numerical
examples that demonstrate rates of convergence, and which show computational
efficiency gains over a full hybridized formulation
An embedded-hybridized discontinuous Galerkin method for the coupled Stokes-Darcy system
We introduce an embedded-hybridized discontinuous Galerkin (EDG-HDG) method
for the coupled Stokes-Darcy system. This EDG-HDG method is a pointwise
mass-conserving discretization resulting in a divergence-conforming velocity
field on the whole domain. In the proposed scheme, coupling between the Stokes
and Darcy domains is achieved naturally through the EDG-HDG facet variables.
\emph{A priori} error analysis shows optimal convergence rates, and that the
velocity error does not depend on the pressure. The error analysis is verified
through numerical examples on unstructured grids for different orders of
polynomial approximation

Towards computable flows and robust estimates for inf-sup stable FEM applied to the time-dependent incompressible Navier--Stokes equations
Inf-sup stable FEM applied to time-dependent incompressible Navier--Stokes flows are considered. The focus lies on robust estimates for the kinetic and dissipation energies in a twofold sense. Firstly, pressure-robustness ensures the fulfilment of a fundamental invariance principle and velocity error estimates are not corrupted by the pressure approximability. Secondly, Re-semi-robustness means that constants appearing on the right-hand side of kinetic and dissipation energy error estimates (including Gronwall constants) do not explicitly depend on the Reynolds number. Such estimates rely on an essential regularity assumption for the gradient of the velocity, which is discussed in detail. In the sense of best practice, we review and establish pressure- and Re-semi-robust estimates for pointwise divergence-free H1-conforming FEM (like Scott--Vogelius pairs or certain isogeometric based FEM) and pointwise divergence-free H(div)-conforming discontinuous Galerkin FEM. For convection-dominated problems, the latter naturally includes an upwind stabilisation for the velocity which is not gradient-based
