Abstract: The purpose of this paper is the mathematical analysis of the weak solution of the mixed Dirichlet-Robin boundary value problem for the nonlinear Darcy-Forchheimer- Brinkman system in a bounded, two-dimensional Lipschitz domain, and the application of the corresponding results to the study of the lid-driven flow problem of an incompressible viscous fluid located in a square cavity filled with a porous medium. First we obtain a well-posedness result for the linear Brinkman system with Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, employing a variational approach for the corresponding boundary integral equations. The result is extended afterwards to the Poisson problem for the Brinkman system and to Dirichlet- Robin boundary conditions. Further, we study the nonlinear Darcy-Forchheimer- Brinkman boundary value problem of Dirichlet and Robin type. Using the Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method (DRBEM), we numerically investigate a special Dirichlet-Robin boundary value problem associated to the nonlinear Darcy-Forchheimer-Brinkman system, i.e., the lid-driven cavity flow problem. The physical properties of such a flow are discussed by the geometry of the streamlines of the fluid flow for different Reynolds and Darcy numbers. Moreover, an additional sliding parameter is imposed on the moving wall and we show its importance by segmenting the upper lid into two opposite moving segments.


Suppose that \(\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2\) is a bounded domain with connected Lipschitz boundary. Assume that \(\partial\Omega\) is decomposed into two nonempty relatively open, adjacent, nonoverlapping parts \(\Gamma_D\) and \(\Gamma_N\). Let \(\alpha >0\) be a constant. It is proved that there exists a unique solution \((u,p)\in W^{1,2}(\Omega )^2 \times L^2(\Omega)\) of the mixed problem for the Brinkman system \(\Delta u-\alpha u-\nabla p=f\), \(\nabla \cdot u=0\) in \(\Omega\), \(u=g\) on \(\Gamma_D\), \(T(u,p)n+\lambda u=h\) on \(\Gamma_N\). Here \(\lambda \equiv 0\) or \(\lambda\) is a bounded symmetric matrix function satisfying some positivity condition. Then the problem for the Darcy-Forchheimer-Brinkman system \(\Delta u-\alpha u-\beta u\cdot \nabla u-\nabla p=f\), \(\nabla \cdot u=0\) with the same boundary condition is studied.
