Moreover, one-level finite element method is applied to solve numerically the 2D/3D steady Navier-Stokes equations if a weak uniqueness condition 0<\delta<(\frac{\|f\|_{-1}}{\|f\|_0})^\frac{1}{2} holds. The two-level algorithms are motivated by solving a nonlinear problem on a coarse grid with mesh size H and computing the Stokes, Oseen and Newton correction on a fine grid with mesh size h << H. The uniform stability and convergence of these methods with respect to  and grid sizes h and H are provided. Finally, some numerical tests are made to demonstrate the effectiveness of one-level method and the three two-level methods.
