Coupled Stokes-Darcy model with Beavers-Joseph interface boundary condition. (English) Zbl 1189.35244

Summary: We investigate the well-posedness of a coupled Stokes-Darcy model with Beavers-Joseph interface boundary conditions. In the steady-state case, the well-posedness is established under the assumption of a small coefficient in the Beavers-Joseph interface boundary condition. In the time-dependent case, the well-posedness is established via an appropriate time discretization of the problem and a novel scaling of the system under an isotropic media assumption. Such coupled systems are crucial to the study of subsurface flow problems, in particular, flows in karst aquifers.
