Abstract
This thesis develops, analyzes and tests a finite element method for approximating solutions to the Leray–deconvolution regularization of the Navier–Stokes equations. The scheme combines three ideas in order to create an accurate and effective algorithm: the use of an incompressible filter, a linearization that decouples the velocity–pressure system from the filtering and deconvolution operations, and a stabilization that works well with the linearization. A rigorous and complete numerical analysis of the scheme is given, and numerical experiments are presented that show clear advantages of the scheme.
