Abstract
Numerical solutions using finite element methods are considered for transient flow in a porous medium coupled to free flow in embedded conduits. Such situations arise, for example, for groundwater flows in karst aquifers. the coupled flow is modeled by the Darcy equation in a porous medium and the Stokes equations in the conduit domain. on the interface between the matrix and conduit, Beavers-Joseph interface conditions, instead of the simplified Beavers-Joseph-Saffman conditions, are imposed. Convergence and error estimates for finite element approximations are obtained. Numerical experiments illustrate the validity of the theoretical results. © 2010 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
