A new mixed-primal finite element scheme is proposed solving for the pairs fluid velocity - pressure and displacement - total poroelastic pressure using Stokes-stable elements, and where the formulation does not require Lagrange multipliers to set up the usual transmission conditions on the interface. The stability and well-posedness of the continuous and semi-discrete problems are analysed in detail. Our numerical study {is framed in} the context of different interfacial flow regimes in Cartesian and axisymmetric coordinates that could eventually help describe early morphologic changes associated with glaucoma development in canine species.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-06-17T00:54:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "65M60", "65M12", "76S05", "74F10", "92C35" ], "keywords": [ "total pressure", "biot-stokes coupling", "formulation", "application", "mixed-primal finite element scheme" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
