We consider a noncoercive convection‐diffusion problem with Neumann boundary conditions appearing in modeling of magnetic fluid seals. The associated operator has a non‐trivial one‐dimensional kernel spanned by a positive function. A discretization is proposed preserving these properties. Optimal error estimates in the H 1 ‐norm are based on a discrete stability result. Numerical results confirm the theoretical predictions. (© 2012 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
