Divergence-free discontinuous Galerkin schemes for the Stokes equations and the MAC scheme
We show that recently studied discontinuous Galerkin discretizations in their lowest order version are very similar to the marker and cell (MAC) finite difference scheme. Indeed, applying a slight modification, the exact MAC scheme can be recovered. Therefore, the analysis applied to the DG methods applies to the MAC scheme as well and the DG inethods provide a natural generalization of the MAC scheme to higher order and irregular meshes.
