Abstract

We devise 3-field and 4-field finite element approximations of a system describing the steady state of an incompressible heat-conducting fluid with implicit non-Newtonian rheology. We prove that the sequence of numerical approximations converges to a weak solution of the problem. We develop a block preconditioner based on augmented Lagrangian stabilisation for a discretisation based on the Scott-Vogelius finite element pair for the velocity and pressure. The preconditioner involves a specialised multigrid algorithm that makes use of a space-decomposition that captures the kernel of the divergence and non-standard intergrid transfer operators. The preconditioner exhibits robust convergence behaviour when applied to the Navier-Stokes and power-law systems, including temperature-dependent viscosity, heat conductivity and viscous dissipation.
