Partitioning strategies for the interaction of a fluid with a poroelastic material based on a Nitsche’s coupling approach

We develop a computational model to study the interaction of a fluid with a poroelastic material. The coupling of Stokes and Biot equations represents a prototype problem for these phenomena, which feature multiple facets. On one hand, it shares common traits with fluid–structure interaction. On the other hand it resembles the Stokes–Darcy coupling. For these reasons, the numerical simulation of the Stokes–Biot coupled system is a challenging...
