The Stokes problem on a domain with edge singularities is considered. The d
ecomposition of the solution into a regular part and blocks of singular fun
ctions is established. This, together with the tangential regularity of the
solution, leads to a global regularity result in suitable weighted Sobolev
spaces, the properties of which are investigated. The global regularity is
exploited to generate an optimally convergent semi-discrete mesh refinemen
t mixed finite-element method. In the particular case of a prismatic domain
, the Fourier finite-element method, which is a fully discrete scheme, is i
mplemented.
