  • The two-level pressure projection stabilized finite element methods for Navier�Stokes equations with nonlinear slip boundary conditions are investigated in this paper, whose variational formulation is the Navier�Stokes type variational inequality problem of the second kind. Based on the P1�P1 triangular element and using the pressure projection stabilized finite element method, we solve a small Navier�Stokes type variational inequality problem on the coarse mesh with mesh size H and solve a large Stokes type variational inequality problem for simple iteration or a large Oseen type variational inequality problem for Oseen iteration on the fine mesh with mesh size h. The error analysis obtained in this paper shows that if h=O(H2), the two-level stabilized methods have the same convergence orders as the usual one-level stabilized finite element methods, which is only solving a large Navier�Stokes type variational inequality problem on the fine mesh. Finally, numerical results are given to verify the theoretical analysis.
