contents In this thesis, we investigate a novel local projection based stabilized conforming virtual element method for the generalized Oseen problem using equal-order element pairs on general polygonal meshes. To ensure the stability, particularly in the presence of convection-dominated regimes and the utilization of equal-order element pairs, we introduce local projections based stabilization techniques. We demonstrate the discrete inf-sup condition in the energy norm. Moreover, the stability of the proposed method also guarantees the stability properties for the Brinkman equation and the Stokes equation without introducing any additional conditions. Furthermore, we derive an optimal error estimates in the energy norm that underline the uniform convergence in the energy norm for the generalized Oseen problem with small diffusion. In addition, the error estimates remain valid and uniform for the Brinkman equation and the Stokes equation. Additionally, the convergence study shows that the proposed method is quasi-robust with respect to parameters. The proposed method offers several advantages, including simplicity in construction, easier implementation compared to residual-based stabilization techniques, and avoiding coupling between element pairs. We validate our theoretical findings through a series of numerical experiments, including diffusion-dominated and convection-dominated regimes.
