Abstract
We investigate lower bounds for the error in Nitsche’s Method to implement slip boundary conditions for flow problems in domains with curved boundaries. We study approximations of the normal and tangent vectors when using a polygonal approximation of the domain. For both approaches, we give lower bounds for the error that give an upper bound on the best convergence rate that can be achieved for a polygonal approximation of a curved boundary. Our results support the idea that extra mesh refinement near a curved boundary can mitigate the polygonal domain approximation error.
