Abstract

In this study, we present a stabilized finite element analysis for completely unified Stokes-Brinkman problems fully coupled with variable coefficient transient Advection-Diffusion-Reaction equation(VADR). As well we have carried out the stabilized finite element analysis for Stokes-Brinkman model with interface conditions fully coupled with VADR. The viscosity of the fluid, involved in flow problem, depends on the concentration of the solute, whose transport is described by VADR equation. The algebraic subgrid multiscale approach has been employed to arrive at the stabilized coupled variational formulation. For the time discretization the fully implicit Euler scheme has been used. A detailed derivation of both the apriori and aposteriori estimates for the stabilized subgrid multiscale finite element scheme have been presented. Few numerical experiments have been carried out to verify the credibility of the method.
