| contents | This paper presents a mini immersed finite element (IFE) method for solving two- and three-dimensional two-phase Stokes problems on Cartesian meshes. The IFE space is constructed from the conventional mini element, with shape functions modified on interface elements according to interface jump conditions, while keeping the degrees of freedom unchanged. Both discontinuous viscosity coefficients and surface forces are taken into account in the construction. The interface is approximated using discrete level set functions, and explicit formulas for IFE basis functions and correction functions are derived, facilitating ease of implementation.The inf-sup stability and the optimal a priori error estimate of the IFE method, along with the optimal approximation capabilities of the IFE space, are derived rigorously, with constants that are independent of the mesh size and the manner in which the interface intersects the mesh, but may depend on the discontinuous viscosity coefficients. Additionally, it is proved that the condition number has the usual bound independent of the interface. Numerical experiments are provided to confirm the theoretical results. |
