On the Weak Solutions to Mixed Navier-Stokes-Darcy ModelYanren Hou, Haibiao Zheng
In this paper, an a priori estimate of weak solutions to the mixed Navier-Stokes/Darcy model with Beavers-Joseph-Saffman's interface condition and the existence of a weak solution are established without the small data and/or the large viscosity restriction for the first time. Based on these results, the global uniqueness of the weak solution is obtained.

Optimal Error Estimates of A Decoupled Scheme Based on Two-Grid Finite Element for Mixed Stokes-Darcy ModelYanren Hou
Although the numerical results suggest the optimal convergence order of the two-grid finite element decoupled scheme for mixed Stokes-Darcy model with Beaver-Joseph-Saffman interface condition in literatures, the numerical analysis only get the optimal error order for porous media flow and a non-optimal error order that is half order lower than the optimal one in fluid flow. The purpose of this paper is to fill in the gap between the numerical results and the theoretical analysis. By introducing an $H^1-$ orthogonal decomposition of a specific vector valued space, we obtain the optimal error estimates of the velocity and pressure in fluid flow region.

An Expandable Local and Parallel Two-Grid Finite Element SchemeYanren Hou, Guangzhi Du
An expandable local and parallel two-grid finite element scheme based on superposition principle for elliptic problems is proposed and analyzed in this paper by taking example of Poisson equation. Compared with the usual local and parallel finite element schemes, the scheme proposed in this paper can be easily implemented in a large parallel computer system that has a lot of CPUs. Convergence results base on $H^1$ and $L^2$ a priori error estimation of the scheme are obtained, which show that the scheme can reach the optimal convergence orders within $|\ln H|^2$ or $|\ln H|$ two-grid iterations if the coarse mesh size $H$ and the fine mesh size $h$ are properly configured in 2-D or 3-D case, respectively. Some numerical results are presented at the end of the paper to support our analysis.
