Abstract:

Consider the finite volume element method for the thermal convection problem
with the infinite Prandtl number. The author uses a conforming piecewise linear function
on a fine triangulation for velocity and temperature, and a piecewise constant function on
a coarse triangulation for pressure. For general triangulation the optimal order H1 norm
error estimates are given.

Key words: Finite volume element method;thermal convection problem, error estimate
