We present families of scalar nonconforming finite elements of arbitrary order with optimal approximation properties on quadrilaterals and hexahedra. Their vector-valued versions together with a discontinuous pressure approximation of order form inf-sup stable finite element pairs of order for the Stokes problem. The well-known elements by Rannacher and Turek are recovered in the case . A numerical comparison between conforming and nonconforming discretisations will be given. Since higher order nonconforming discretisation on quadrilaterals and hexahedra have less unknowns and much less non-zero matrix entries compared to corresponding conforming methods, these methods are attractive for numerical simulations.
