The remarkable feature of VEM is that it does not require an explicit computation of the trial and test space, thereby bypassing the obstacle of standard finite element discretizations on arbitrary mesh. The velocity and pressure are approximated by the practical significative lowest equal-order virtual element space pair (Xh,Qh) which does not satisfy the discrete inf-sup condition. Combined with the penalty method, the error estimation is proved rigorously. Numerical results on the 3D polygonal mesh illustrate the theoretical results and effectiveness of the proposed method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24081129","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,15]],"date-time":"2022-08-15T20:58:08Z","timestamp":1660597088000},"page":"1129","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Penalty Virtual Element Method for the 3D Incompressible Flow on Polyhedron Mesh"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Lulu","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mathematics and System Sciences, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830046, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haiyan","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mathematics and System Sciences, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830046, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yinnian","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mathematics and System Sciences, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830046, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"183","DOI":"10.1016\/0045-7825(84)90025-2","article-title":"Penalty finite element method for the Navier-Stokes equations","volume":"2","author":"Carey","year":"1984","journal-title":"Comput.
