Analysis and finite element approximation of a coupled, continuum pipe-flow/Darcy model for flow in porous media with embedded conduits∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the continuum Darcy/pipe flow model for flows in a porous matrix containing embedded conduits; such coupled flows are present in, e.g., karst aquifers. The mathematical well-posedness of the coupled problem as well as convergence rates of finite element approximation are established in the two-dimensional case. Computational results are also provided.

Finite 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...
متن کاملEffect of Chemical Reaction on Bioconvective Flow in Oxytactic Microorganisms Suspended Porous Cavity
In this paper, the bioconvective flow in a porous square cavity containing oxytactic microorganism in the presence of chemical reaction is investigated. The bioconvection flow and heat transfer in porous media are formulated based on the Darcy model of Boussinesq approximation. The governing partial differential equations are solved using the Galerkin finite element method. The computational nu...
متن کاملConjugate Heat Transfer of MHD non-Darcy Mixed Convection Flow of a Nanofluid over a Vertical Slender Hollow Cylinder Embedded in Porous Media
In this paper, conjugate heat transfer of magneto hydrodynamic mixed convection of nanofluid about a vertical slender hollow cylinder embedded in a porous medium with high porosity have been numerically studied. The Forchheimer’s modification of Darcy’s law was used in representing the nanofluid motion inside the porous media. The governing boundary layer equations were transformed to non-dimen...
متن کاملDynamic Analysis of Porous Media using Generalized Plasticity Model and Non-Darcy Flow Rule
Biot equations that consider fluid and soil interaction at the same time are the most applicable relationships in the soil dynamic analysis. However, in dynamic analysis, due to the sudden increase in the excess pore pressure caused by seismic excitation and the occurrence of high hydraulic gradients, the assumption of the Darcy flow used in these equations is questionable. In the present study...
متن کاملCoupling Fluid Flow with Porous Media Flow
The transport of substances back and forth between surface water and groundwater is a very serious problem. We study herein the mathematical model of this setting consisting of the Stokes equations in the fluid region coupled with the Darcy equations in the porous medium, coupled across the interface by the Beavers–Joseph–Saffman conditions. We prove existence of weak solutions and give a compl...
