Approximation of Coupled Stokes-Darcy Flow in an Axisymmetric Domain
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article we investigate the numerical approximation of coupled Stokes and Darcy fluid flow equations in an axisymmetric domain. The fluid flow is assumed to be axisymmetric. Rewriting the problem in cylindrical coordinates reduces the 3-D problem to a problem in 2-D. This reduction to 2-D requires the numerical analysis to be studied in suitably weighted Hilbert spaces. In this setting we show that the proposed approximation scheme has a unique solution, and derive corresponding a priori error estimate. Computations for an example with a know solution are presented which support the a priori error estimate. Computations are also given for a model of fluid flow in the eye.

Coupled Generalized Nonlinear Stokes Flow with Flow through a Porous Medium
In this article, we analyze the flow of a fluid through a coupled Stokes-Darcy domain. The fluid in each domain is non-Newtonian, modeled by the generalized nonlinear Stokes equation in the free flow region and the generalized nonlinear Darcy equation in the porous medium. A flow rate is specified along the inflow portion of the free flow boundary. We show existence and uniqueness of a variatio...

متن کاملRational Chebyshev Collocation approach in the solution of the axisymmetric stagnation flow on a circular cylinder
In this paper, a spectral collocation approach based on the rational Chebyshev functions for solving the axisymmetric stagnation point flow on an infinite stationary circular cylinder is suggested. The Navier-Stokes equations which govern the flow, are changed to a boundary value problem with a semi-infinite domain and a third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation by applying proper si...
متن کاملFinite Element Approximations for Stokes-Darcy Flow with Beavers-Joseph Interface Conditions
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–J...

A mathematical and numerical model describing chemical transport in a Stokes– Darcy flow system is discussed. The flow equations are solved through domain decomposition using classical finite element methods in the Stokes region and mixed finite element methods in the Darcy region. The local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method is used to solve the transport equation. Models dealing with couplin...
