A unified mixed finite element approximations of the Stokes–Darcy coupled problem

In this paper we develop and analyze a unified approximation of the velocity–pressure pair for the Stokes–Darcy coupled problem in a plane domain. It is well known that, stable finite element approximations for the Stokes problem may not be appropriate for Darcy problem and for the coupling of fluid...
