Finite element methods (FEM) have become a cornerstone in simulating the interaction between free fluid flow and flow through porous media. In the context of Stokes-Darcy flow problems, FEM provides a ...
A characterization theorem for moments of the Stokes traction field on the bounding surface of a three-dimensional flow domain is stated and proved. Whereas the single-layer Stokes potentials lead to ...
We provide an a priori error analysis of a wide class of finite element methods for the Stokes equations. The methods are based on the velocity gradient-velocity ...
