We consider the Stokes problem of incompressible fluid flow in three‐dimensional polyhedral domains discretized on hexahedral meshes with hp‐discontinuous Galerkin finite elements of type Qk for the velocity and Qk−1 for the pressure. We prove that these elements are inf‐sup stable on geometric edge meshes that are refined anisotropically and non‐quasiuniformly towards edges and corners. The discrete inf‐sup constant is shown to be independent of the aspect ratio of the anisotropic elements and is of O(k−3/2) in the polynomial degree k, as in the case of conforming Qk−Qk−2 approximations on the same meshe
