We present a numerical technique based on the coupling of boundary and finite element methods for the steady Oseen equations in an unbounded plane domain. The present paper deals with the implementation of the coupled program in the two-dimensional case. Computational results are given for a particular problem which can be seen as a good test case for the accuracy of the method. 1. Introduction The coupling of boundary and finite element methods has recently been shown to be a very effective tool for solving a certain class of physical problems with infinite or even large domains, for which the traditional numerical analysis techniques are unsuitable cf. 1–13. In particular, Sequeira considered the theoretical aspect of the coupled boundary and finite element methods for solving the steady exterior Stokes problem
