Abstract

In this work, we couple the incompressible steady Navier-Stokes equations with the Darcy equations, by means of the Beaver-Joseph-Saffman's condition on the interface. Under suitable smallness conditions on the data, we prove existence of a weak solution as well as some a priori estimates. We establish local uniqueness when the data satisfy additional smallness restrictions. Then we propose a discontinuous Galerkin scheme for discretizing the equations and do its numerical analysis.
