Pressure jump interface law for the Stokes-Darcy coupling: Confirmation by direct numerical simulationsThomas Carraro, Christian Goll, Anna Marciniak-Czochra et al.
It is generally accepted that the effective velocity of a viscous flow over a porous bed satisfies the Beavers-Joseph slip law. To the contrary, interface law for the effective stress has been a subject of controversy. Recently, a pressure jump interface law has been rigorously derived by Marciniak-Czochra and Mikelić. In this paper, we provide a confirmation of the analytical result using direct numerical simulation of the flow at the microscopic level.
