We consider first and second‐order implicit time stepping procedures for the non‐stationary Stokes equations in bounded domains of ℝ 3 . Using energy estimates we prove the optimal convergence properties in the Sobolev spaces H m (G)(m = 0, 1, 2) uniformly in time, provided that the Stokes solution has a certain degree of regularity. Here in the case of the second‐order scheme (method of Crank–Nicholson) the Stokes solution has to satisfy a non‐local compatibility condition at the initial time t = O, which can be satisfied by a special initial construction.
