contents This paper presents a pressure-robust and element-wise divergence-free nonconforming finite element method for the Stokes problem on curved domains. The discrete element is constructed by mapping the Fortin-Soulie element from a reference triangle using an isoparametric mapping for the geometry and a Piola transform for the function space. The inf-sup condition and the error estimate with optimal convergence rate are proved. Pressure-robustness is obtained by replacing the discrete velocity test functions with the first-order Raviart-Thomas functions. Numerical examples are provided to validate the theoretical results.
