## A stabilized mixed finite element method for Darcy-Stokes flow.(English)Zbl 1114.76043

Summary: This paper presents a new stabilized finite element method for Darcy-Stokes equations also known as Brinkman model of lubrication theory. These equations also govern the flow of incompressible viscous fluids through permeable media. The proposed method arises from a decomposition of velocity field into coarse/resolved scales and fine/unresolved scales. Modelling of the unresolved scales corrects the lack of stability of standard Galerkin formulation for Darcy-Stokes equations. A significant feature of the present method is that the structure of the stabilization tensor appears naturally via the solution of the fine-scale problem. The issue of arbitrary combinations of pressure-velocity interpolation functions is addressed, and equal-order combinations of $$C^0$$ interpolations are shown to be stable and convergent.
