Analysis of a Navier–Stokes–Darcy coupling problem

Abstract

AbstractThe aim of this work is to present a model for coupling the Darcy equations in a porous medium with the Navier–Stokes equations in the cracks. We consider a two- or three-dimensional domain with non-standard condition at the interface, namely the continuity of the pressure. We propose a mixed formulation and establish the existence of a solution for the coupled problem.
