We present some mathematical foundations of hp-FEM for fluid flow simulation. Particular attention is paid to the mesh-design for viscous, incompressible flow where the regularity of the solution mandates resolution of corner singularities and boundary layers. Stabilized and discontinuous hp-FEM for advection dominated and nearly incompressible flows are derived. A new hp-adaptive time stepping strategy for spectral accuracy in transient problems is presented.
