Analysis of a discontinuous finite element method for the coupled Stokes and Darcy problems. (English) Zbl 1065.76143

Summary: The coupled Stokes and Darcy flows problem is solved by the locally conservative discontinuous Galerkin method. Optimal error estimates are derived for fluid velocity and pressure.
