Local and parallel efficient BDF2 and BDF3 rotational pressure-correction schemes for a coupled Stokes/Darcy system (Q2141606)

This paper extends authors earlier work [\textit{J. Li} et al., Comput. Math. with Appl. 79, 337--353 (2020; Zbl 1443.65187); Numer. Methods Partial Differential Equations 35, 1873--1889 (2019; Zbl 1423.76253)] where first- and second-order (in time) BE (backward Euler) and BDF2 schemes with the rotational pressure-correction methods introduced in [\textit{J. Guermond} et al., SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 43, 239--258 (2005; Zbl 1083.76044)] are studied for a coupled Stokes/Darcy system. These temporal schemes are developed, and the BDF2/BDF3 rotational pressure-correction methods are studied for the Stokes/Darcy system. It was proven that the BDF2/BDF3 rotational pressure-correction methods are unconditionally stable, long-time accurate with a uniform-in-time error bound, and efficient in that only two decoupled equations are required to solve at each time step. At each time step, only one linear system of equations has to be solved, which thus significantly reduces the computational time and memory costs in practice. The presented projection methods are combined with the local and parallel methods based on full overlapping decoupled techniques for the coupled Stokes/Darcy system which increases the computational efficiency further. Several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed methods.
