This paper proposes a discontinuous finite volume method for the Darcy-Stokes equations. An optimal error estimate for the approximation of velocity is obtained in a mesh-dependent norm. First-orderL2-error estimates are derived for the approximations of both velocity and pressure. Some numerical examples verifying the theoretical predictions are presented.
We introduce and analyze a discontinuous finite volume method for the Signorini problem. Under suitable regularity assumptions on the exact solution, we derive an optimal a priori error estimate in the energy norm.
