contents Consistent splitting schemes are among the most accurate pressure segregation methods, incurring no splitting errors or spurious boundary conditions. Nevertheless, their theoretical properties are not yet fully understood, especially when finite elements are used for the spatial discretisation. This work proposes a simple scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) technique that, when combined with standard finite elements in space, guarantees unconditional stability for first- and second-order consistent splitting schemes. The framework is implicit-explicit (IMEX) and only requires solving linear transport equations and a pressure Poisson problem per time step. Furthermore, pressure stability is attained with respect to a stronger norm than in classical projection schemes, which allows eliminating the inf-sup compatibility requirement on the velocity-pressure pairs. The accuracy of the new framework is assessed through numerical examples.
