We construct a finite volume element method based on the constrained nonconforming rotated Q_(1)-constant element(CNRQ_(1)-P_(0))for the Stokes problem.Two meshes are needed,which are the primal mesh and the dual mesh.We approximate the velocity by CNRQ_(1)elements and the pressure by piecewise constants.The errors for the velocity in the H^(1)norm and for the pressure in the L^(2)norm are O(h)and the error for the velocity in the L^(2)norm is O(h^(2)).Numerical experiments are presented to support our theoretical results.
