We demonstrate a simple example about how to design my own algorithm for Navier-Stokes equation by weak form PDE and LiveLink™ for MATLAB®. After the computation, we get the same solution as other FEM packages (FreeFEM++ & FeniCs) at each iterative step, and we can see the Navier-Stokes equation’s solution at error between each step.

This attempt gives algorithm researchers a hint or a method to test their algorithm, and gives engineers another way to compute their models especially those cannot find appropriate built-in interface in COMSOL Multiphysics® software.
