Two methods for solving the Stokes system in the axisymmetric case are studied. Both are designed for the standard Galerkin formulation, and use discontinuous pressure spaces. The first method is a rectangular based Q(2)-P-1 method due to Fortin. The other one is the so-called Crouzeix-Raviart triangle. Both methods are proven to be second order convergent in the natural weighted Sobolev norms, for the system under consideration.
