STOKES_2D_EXACT
Exact solutions to the
2D Incompressible Steady Stokes Equations

STOKES_2D_EXACT, a C library which evaluates exact solutions to the incompressible steady Stokes equations in 2D.

The incompressible steady 2D Stokes equations seek functions u(x,y), v(x,y), (the velocity vector) and p(x,y) (the pressure) such that

        - uxx - uyy + dpdx = f
        - vxx - vyy + dpdy = g
          ux  + vy         = h
      

Three exact solution fields are provided here.
