The LBB condition is well-known to guarantee the stability of a finite element (FE) velocity - pressure pair in incompressible how calculations. To ensure the condition to be satisfied a certain constant should be positive and mesh-independent. The paper studies the dependence of the LBB condition on the domain geometry. For model domains such as strips and rings the substantial dependence of this constant on geometry aspect ratios is observed. In domains with highly anisotropic substructures this may require special care with numerics to a-void failures similar to those when the LBB condition is violated. In the core of the paper we prove that for any FE velocity-pressure pair satisfying usual approximation hypotheses the mesh-independent limit in the LBB condition is not greater than its continuous counterpart, the constant from the Nei as inequality. For the latter the explicit and asymptotically accurate estimates are proved. The analytic results are illustrated by several numerical experiments.
