Abstract
The flow in a rigid porous medium with a crack is usually modelled by the Darcy equations coupled with the Stokes problem. We first propose a new variational formulation of the Stokes system, where the unknowns are the vorticity, the velocity and the pressure, and describe the corresponding finite-element discretization. We extend this discretization to the case where the Darcy and the Stokes equations are coupled and prove optimal a priori and a posteriori error estimates. We conclude with some numerical experiments.
