abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">The Brinkman equation is used to model the isothermal flow of the Newtonian fluids through highly permeable porous media. Due to the multiscale behaviour
of this flow regime the standard Galerkin finite element schemes for the Brinkman
equation require excessive mesh refinement at least in the vicinity of domain walls to
yield stable and accurate results. To avoid this, a multiscale finite element method is
developed using bubble functions. It is shown that by using bubble enriched shape
functions the standard Galerkin method can generate stable solutions without excessive near wall mesh refinements. In this paper the performances of different types of
bubble functions are evaluated. These functions are used in conjunction with bilinear Lagrangian elements to solve the Brinkman equation via a penalty finite element
scheme.</p>},
