Abstract
In this work we investigate a filtration process whereby particulate is deposited in the flow domain, causing the porosity of the region to decrease. The fluid flow is modeled as a coupled Stokes–Darcy flow problem and the deposition (in the Darcy domain) is modeled using a nonlinear equation for the porosity. Existence and uniqueness of a solution to the governing equations is established. Additionally, the nonnegativity and boundedness of the porosity is shown. A finite element approximation scheme that preserves the nonnegativity and boundedness of the porosity is investigated. Accompanying numerical experiments support the analytical findings.
