A　new　defect-correction　method　for　the　stationary　NavierStokes　equations　based　on　local　Gauss　integration　is　considered　in　this　paper.　In　both　defect　step　and　correction　step,　a　locally　stabilized　technique　based　on　the　Gaussian　quadrature　rule　is　used.　Moreover,　stability　and　convergence　of　the　presented　method　are　deduced.　Finally,　we　provide　some　numerical　experiments　to　show　good　stability　and　effectiveness　properties　of　the　presented　method.　Copyright　(C)　2012　John　Wiley　&　Sons,　Ltd.
