Abstract:
      Based on the Hellinger-Reissner variational principle,the Hamilton canonical equation of the plane incompressible Stokes flow was derived from the equilibrium equations,continuity conditions and the force boundary conditions.By the separation of variables,the general finite element method was employed in x direction and was derived by the state space control method.In addition,the precise integration method for the exponential matrix was employed in the calculation.The effectiveness of the state space finite element method is demonstrated by analyzing and comparing the simulation example in case of a single-lid driven cavity with free surface side walls.The study of this paper is to introduce the idea of the semi-analytical method into the low Reynolds number flow problems,and lay a foundation of further study on the Stokes flow with complex boundary in the Hamiltonian system.
