The Stokes problem in a tri‐dimensional axisymmetric domain results into a countable family of two‐dimensional problems when using the Fourier coefficients with respect to the angular variable. Relying on this dimension reduction, we propose and study a mortar spectral element discretization of the problem. Numerical experiments confirm the efficiency of this method. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 30: 44–73, 2014
