stokes_2d_exact

stokes_2d_exact, a FORTRAN90 code which evaluates exact solutions to the incompressible steady Stokes equations in 2D.

The incompressible steady 2D Stokes equations seek functions u(x,y), v(x,y), (the velocity vector) and p(x,y) (the pressure) such that 

        - uxx - uyy + dpdx = f
        - vxx - vyy + dpdy = g
          ux  + vy         = h
while satisfying boundary conditions for u and v, and a normalization condition for p, such as specifying its value at one point, or requiring that the integral of p over the region be 0.

Three exact solution fields are provided here.
