A discontinuous finite volume method for the Darcy-Stokes equations. (English) Zbl 1264.76070

Summary: We propose a discontinuous finite volume method for the Darcy-Stokes equations. An optimal error estimate for the approximation of velocity is obtained in a mesh-dependent norm. First-order \(L^2\)-error estimates are derived for the approximations of both velocity and pressure. Some numerical examples verifying the theoretical predictions are presented.
