Fully discrete finite element approximation of the 2D/3D unsteady incompressible magnetohydrodynamic-Voigt regularization flows

Abstract

We devote the present paper to a fully discrete finite element scheme for the 2D/3D nonstationary incompressible magnetohydrodynamic-Voigt regularization model. This scheme is based on a finite element approximation for space discretization and the Crank-Nicolson-type scheme for time discretization, which is a two-step method. Moreover, we study stability and convergence of the fully discrete finite element scheme and obtain unconditional stability and error estimates of velocity and magnetic fields, respectively. Finally, several numerical experiments are investigated to confirm our theoretical findings.
