Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to obtain existence and uniqueness results in weighted Sobolev spaces for transmission problems for the non-linear Darcy-Forchheimer-Brinkman system and the linear Stokes system in two complementary Lipschitz domains in

{m a t h b b R}^{3}

, one of them is a bounded Lipschitz domain

O m e g a

with connected boundary, and another one is the exterior Lipschitz domain

{m a t h b b R}^{3} s e t m i n u s o v e r l i n e O m e g a

. We exploit a layer potential method for the Stokes and Brinkman systems combined with a fixed point theorem in order to show the desired existence and uniqueness results, whenever the given data are suitably small in some weighted Sobolev spaces and boundary Sobolev spaces.

Review text

The main goal of the paper is to investigate a transmission problem with Lipschitz interface in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) for the linear Stokes and the nonlinear Darcy-Forchheimer-Brinkman PDE systems. The normalized Darcy-Forchheimer-Brinkman system \[ \Delta u -\alpha u-k|u|u-\beta(u\cdot\nabla)u-\nabla\pi=f,\quad \mathrm{div}\,u=0, \] which describes flows through porous media saturated with viscous incompressible fluids, where the inertia of such a fluid is not negligible, is given in a bounded Lipschitz domain \(\Omega\) with connected boundary. The constants \(\alpha,k,\beta > 0\) are determined by the physical properties of such a porous medium. In the complementary domain \(\mathbb{R}^3\backslash \overline{\Omega}\) the normalized Stokes system \[ \Delta u -\nabla\pi=f,\quad \mathrm{div}\,u=0, \] is considered. The authors first prove the well-posedness of a linear Poisson problem of transmission type for the Stokes system and the normalized Brinkman system \[ \Delta u -\alpha u-\nabla\pi=f,\quad \mathrm{div}\,u=0,\quad \alpha>0, \] in two complementary Lipschitz domains with data in weighted Sobolev spaces. The result has been obtained by using an integral layer potential method. Then they exploit a layer potential method for the Stokes and Brinkman systems combined with the fixed point theorem in order to show the desired existence and uniqueness results for a boundary value problem of transmission type for the Stokes and Darcy-Forchheimer-Brinkman systems in two complementary Lipschitz domains with data in weighted Sobolev spaces, whenever the given data are suitably small in some \(L^2\) based Sobolev spaces.
