We implement a stabilized finite element method for steady Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model within the continuous Galerkin framework. The nonlinear fluid model is first linearized using a standard \textit{Newton's method. The sequence of linear problems is then discretized utilizing a stable \textit{inf-sup} type continuous finite elements based on the \textit{Taylor-Hood} pair to approximate the primary variables: velocity and pressure}. Such a pair is known to be optimal for the approximation of the isotropic Navier-Stokes equation. To overcome the well-known numerical instability in the convection-dominated problems, the Grad-Div stabilization is employed with an efficient \textit{augmented Lagrangian-type} penalty method. We use the penalty term to develop the \textit{block Schur complement} preconditioner, which is later coupled with a Krylov-space-based iterative linear solver. In addition, the Kelly error estimator for the adaptive mesh refinement is employed to achieve better numerical results with less computational cost. Performance of the proposed algorithm is verified for a classical benchmark problem. Particularly for the Forchheimer parameter, we present some interesting flow patterns with the velocity components and their streamlines along the mid-lines in the computational domain. The role of the Forchheimer term is highlighted for different porous medium scenarios. This study can offer an attractive setting for discretizing many multi-physics problems along with the fluid flow having inertial effects in porous media.
In this paper, we study the "a posteriori" error estimate corresponding to the Brinkman-Darcy-Forchheimer problem. We introduce the variational formulation discretised by using the finite element method. Then, we establish an "a posteriori" error estimation with two types of error indicators related to the discretization and to the linearization. Finally, numerical investigations are shown and discussed.
This paper develops the a priori analysis of a mixed finite element method for the filtration of an incompressible fluid through a non-deformable saturated porous medium with heterogeneous permeability. Flows are governed by the Brinkman--Forchheimer and Darcy equations in the more and less permeable regions, respectively, and the corresponding transmission conditions are given by mass conservation and continuity of momentum. We consider the standard mixed formulation in the Brinkman--Forchheimer domain and the dual-mixed one in the Darcy region, and we impose the continuity of the normal velo…
In this paper we propose and analyze a uniformly robust staggered DG method for the unsteady Darcy-Forchheimer-Brinkman problem. Our formulation is based on velocity gradient-velocity-pressure and the resulting scheme can be flexibly applied to fairly general polygonal meshes. We relax the tangential continuity for velocity, which is the key ingredient in achieving the uniform robustness. We present well-posedness and error analysis for both the semi-discrete scheme and the fully discrete scheme, and the theories indicate that the error estimates for velocity are independent of pressure. Sever…
We prove that some time Euler schemes for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations modified by adding a Brinkman-Forchheimer term and a random perturbation converge in $L^2(Ω)$. This extends previous results concerning the strong rate of convergence of some time discretization schemes for the 2D Navier Stokes equations. Unlike the 2D case, our proposed 3D model with the Brinkman-Forchheimer term allows for a strong rate of convergence of order almost 1/2, that is independent of the viscosity parameter.
We propose and analyze a mixed formulation for the Brinkman-Forchheimer equations for unsteady flows. Our approach is based on the introduction of a pseudostress tensor related to the velocity gradient, leading to a mixed formulation where the pseudostress tensor and the velocity are the main unknowns of the system. We establish existence and uniqueness of a solution to the weak formulation in a Banach space setting, employing classical results on nonlinear monotone operators and a regularization technique. We then present well-posedness and error analysis for semidiscrete continuous-in-time a…
In this work we derive a posteriori error estimates for the convection-diffusion-reaction equation coupled with the Darcy-Forchheimer problem by a nonlinear external source depending on the concentration of the fluid. We introduce the variational formulation associated to the problem, and discretize it by using the finite element method. We prove optimal a posteriori errors with two types of calculable error indicators. The first one is linked to the linearization and the second one to the discretization. Then we find upper and lower error bounds under additional regularity assumptions on the …

This paper deals with the Darcy-Forchheimer problem with two kinds of boundary conditions. We discretize the system by using the finite element methods and we propose two iterative schemes to solve the discrete problems. The well-posedness and the convergence of the corresponding iterative problems are then proven. Finally, several numerical experiments are performed to validate the proposed numerical schemes.
In this paper, we develop a discretization for the non-linear coupled model of classical Darcy-Forchheimer flow in deformable porous media, an extension of the quasi-static Biot equations. The continuous model exhibits a generalized gradient flow structure, identifying the dissipative character of the physical system. The considered mixed finite element discretization is compatible with this structure, which gives access to a simple proof for the existence, uniqueness, and stability of discrete approximations. Moreover, still within the framework, the discretization allows for the development …
This work deals with the a posteriori error estimates for the Darcy-Forchheimer problem. We introduce the corresponding variational formulation and discretize it by using the finite-element method. A posteriori error estimate with two types of computable error indicators is showed. The first one is linked to the linearization and the second one to the discretization. Finally, numerical computations are performed to show the effectiveness of the error indicators.
In this paper we develop a staggered discontinuous Galerkin method for the Stokes and Darcy-Forchheimer problems coupled with the \Red{Beavers-Joseph-Saffman} conditions. The method is defined by imposing staggered continuity for all the variables involved and the interface conditions are enforced by switching the roles of the variables met on the interface, which eliminate the hassle of introducing additional variables. This method can be flexibly applied to rough grids such as the highly distorted grids and the polygonal grids. In addition, the method allows nonmatching grids on the interfac…
We propose and analyze an augmented mixed finite element method for the pseudostress-velocity formulation of the stationary convective Brinkman-Forchheimer problem in $\mathrm{R}^d$, $d\in \{2,3\}$. Since the convective and Forchheimer terms forces the velocity to live in a smaller space than usual, we augment the variational formulation with suitable Galerkin type terms. The resulting augmented scheme is written equivalently as a fixed point equation, so that the well-known Schauder and Banach theorems, combined with the Lax-Milgram theorem, allow to prove the unique solvability of the contin…
We propose a block-structured multigrid relaxation scheme for solving the Stokes-Darcy Brinkman equations discretized by the marker and cell scheme. An element-based additive Vanka smoother is used to solve the corresponding shifted Laplacian operator. Using local Fourier analysis, we present the stencil for the additive Vanka smoother and derive an optimal smoothing factor for Vanka-based Braess-Sarazin relaxation for the Stokes-Darcy Brinkman equations. Although the optimal damping parameter is dependent on meshsize and physical parameter, it is very close to one. Numerical results of two-gr…

This paper proposes an interface/boundary-unfitted eXtended hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (X-HDG) method for Darcy-Stokes-Brinkman interface problems in two and three dimensions. The method uses piecewise linear polynomials for the velocity approximation and piecewise constants for both the velocity gradient and pressure approximations in the interior of elements inside the subdomains separated by the interface, uses piecewise constants for the numerical traces of velocity on the inter-element boundaries inside the subdomains, and uses piecewise constants or linear polynomials for the nu…
In this paper we propose a novel staggered discontinuous Galerkin method for the Brinkman problem on general quadrilateral and polygonal meshes. The proposed method is robust in the Stokes and Darcy limits, in addition, hanging nodes can be automatically incorporated in the construction of the method, which are desirable features in practical applications. There are three unknowns involved in our formulation, namely velocity gradient, velocity and pressure. Unlike the original staggered DG formulation proposed for the Stokes equations in \cite{KimChung13}, we relax the tangential continuity of…
In this article, we present an efficient deep learning method called coupled deep neural networks (CDNNs) for coupled physical problems. Our method compiles the interface conditions of the coupled PDEs into the networks properly and can be served as an efficient alternative to the complex coupled problems. To impose energy conservation constraints, the CDNNs utilize simple fully connected layers and a custom loss function to perform the model training process as well as the physical property of the exact solution. The approach can be beneficial for the following reasons: Firstly, we sampled ra…
In this paper, we propose a multiscale method for the Darcy-Forchheimer model in highly heterogeneous porous media. The problem is solved in the framework of generalized multiscale finite element methods (GMsFEM) combined with a multipoint flux mixed finite element (MFMFE) method. %In the MFMFE methods, appropriate mixed finite element spaces and suitable quadrature rules are employed, which allow for local velocity elimination and lead to a cell-centered system for the pressure. We consider the MFMFE method that utilizes the lowest order Brezzi-Douglas-Marini ($\textrm{BDM}_1$) mixed finite e…

In this paper, a strongly mass conservative and stabilizer free scheme is designed and analyzed for the coupled Brinkman-Darcy flow and transport. The flow equations are discretized by using a strongly mass conservative scheme in mixed formulation with a suitable incorporation of the interface conditions. In particular, the interface conditions can be incorporated into the discrete formulation naturally without introducing additional variables. Moreover, the proposed scheme behaves uniformly robust for various values of viscosity. A novel upwinding staggered DG scheme in mixed form is exploite…

Numerical treatment of the problem of two-dimensional viscous fluid flow in and around circular porous inclusions is considered. The mathematical model is described by Navier-Stokes equation in the free flow domain $Ω_f$ and nonlinear convective Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer equations in porous subdomains $Ω_p$. It is well-known that numerical solutions of the problems in such heterogeneous domains require a very fine computational mesh that resolve inclusions on the grid level. The size alteration of the relevant system requires model reduction techniques. Here, we present a multiscale model red…
The Brinkman equations can be regarded as a combination of the Stokes and Darcy equations which model transitions between the fast flow in channels (governed by Stokes equations) and the slow flow in porous media (governed by Darcy's law). The numerical challenge for this model is the designing of a numerical scheme which is stable for both the Stokes-dominated (high permeability) and the Darcy-dominated (low permeability) equations. In this paper, we solve the Brinkman model in $n$ dimensions ($n = 2, 3$) by using the mixed discontinuous Galerkin (MDG) method, which meets this challenge. This…
