In　this　paper,　a　nonconforming　virtual　element　method　for　the　Stokes　problem　is　proposed　and　investigated.　This　method　gives　a　unified　scheme　for　two　and　three　dimensions　simultaneously.　In　addition,　it　provides　an　attractive　computational　feature　treatment　of　general　elements　including　non-convex　and　degenerate　elements.　Moreover,　by　choosing　a　proper　low　order　velocity　and　pressure　pair,　we　prove　the　discrete　inf-sup　condition　for　this　method　to　obtain　its　solvability　and　stability.　Furthermore,　we　show　optimal　energy　norm　error　estimates　for　velocity　and　L-2　norm　error　estimates　for　both　velocity　and　pressure.　Finally,　a　series　of　numerical　experiments　are　performed　to　validate　that　this　method　has　good　stability　and　accuracy　for　the　Stokes　problem.　(C)　2017　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
