Abstract

In this article, we suggest a new third-order time discrete scheme for the two-dimensional non-stationary Navier–Stokes equations. After presenting the Galerkin finite element approximation for the spatial discretization, we consider an implicit/explicit time discrete scheme for the problem, which is based on the two-step Adams–Moulton scheme (implicit scheme) for the linear term and the three-step Adams–Bashforth scheme (explicit scheme) for the nonlinear term. In this method, we only need to solve a linearized discrete system at each time step, so the scheme can converge fast and the computational cost can be reduced. Moreover, under some assumptions, we deduce the stability and optimal error estimate for the velocity in L 2-norm.
