“…The Stokes-Darcy model describes the free flow of a liquid by the Stokes equation and the confined flow in a porous media by the Darcy equation, the two flows are coupled through interface conditions. Due to the fact that the resulting coupled Stokes-Darcy model has higher fidelity than either the Darcy or Stokes systems on their own, it is not surprising that a great deal of effort has been devoted to developing numerical methods for solving the model, such as the coupled finite element methods [21,72,85,99], domain decomposition methods [19,24,31,37,39,40,57,79,108], Lagrange multiplier methods [6,50,76], multi-grid methods [2,20,88], discontinuous Galerkin methods [33,54,71,78,96], mortar discretization [17,48,55], and many others [5,10,18,22,32,43,63,68,70,77,83,89,100,110,111,119].…”
