An optimal control problem for 2d and 3d Stokes equations is investigated with pointwise control constraints. This paper is concerned with the discretization of the control by piecewise constant functions. The state and the adjoint state are discretized by finite element schemes. In the paper a postprocessing strategy is suggested, which allows for significant improvement of the accuracy.
