Abstract
In this paper, a new uniqueness assumption (A2) of the solution for the stationary Navier–Stokes equations is presented. Under assumption (A2), the exponential stability of the solution \((\bar{u},\bar{p})\) for the stationary Navier–Stokes equations is proven. Moreover, the Euler implicit/explicit scheme based on the mixed finite element is applied to solve the stationary Navier–Stokes equations. Finally, the almost unconditionally stability is proven and the optimal error estimates uniform in time are provided for the scheme.
