Rui Guest Posts: n/a	Hi, there; I am working on solving Stokes equations and is curious why there is very few special algorithms dealing with Stokes equation using finite difference method? (I checked at least five CFD book, none of them talks about solving Stokes equation at all). Can I assume that all the algorithm solving Navier-Stokes equation (e.g., artifical compressibility method) works fine for Stokes problems too? Thanks a lot. sincerely, Rui ---- p.s. it seems that there are a huge amount of Stokes algorithm for solving Stokes equation using finite element method. why is that?
