Coupling free and porous-media flows: models and numerical approximation
In this paper we provide an overview of mathematical and numerical models for
the coupling of the Navier-Stokes and the Darcy equations to describe the filtration of incompressible
flows through porous media. After introducing suitable interface conditions, we set
up the coupled problem and, using domain decomposition techniques, we present possible algorithms
to compute its finite element approximation through the independent solution of the
Navier-Stokes and of the Darcy equations in their respective subdomains.
Keywords. Navier-Stokes equations, Darcy’s law, interface conditions, domain decomposition,
finite elements method.
