Abstract The coupling method of natural boundary element and mixed finite element is applied to analyze the stationary Navier-Stokes equation in 2-D unbounded domains. After an artificial smooth boundary is introduced, the original nonlinear problem is reduced into an equivalent problem defined in bounded computational domain. The well-posedness of the reduced problem is proved. The finite element approximation of this problem is given, and numerical example is provided to show the feasibility and efficiency of the method.
