Abstract: This paper is the second in a series of papers in which we present a new finite element method for incompressible fluid dynamics-a dimensional reduction method. In this paper, we give a simple basis of Vh for a class of finite element schemes for solving Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded domain Ω⊂R2, discuss how the numerical error of the velocity field affects the numerical solution of the pressure, and present an improved algorithm.
