Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new method for the Darcy-Stokes equations based on the stabilizer-free weak Galerkin finite element method. In the proposed method, we remove the stabilizer term by increasing the degree of polynomial approximation space of the weak gradient operator. Compared with the classical weak Galerkin finite element method, it will not increase the size of global stiffness matrix. We show that the new algorithm not only has a simpler formula, but also reduces the computational complexity. Optimal order error estimates are established for the corresponding numerical approximation in various norms. Finally, we numerically illustrate the accuracy and convergence of this method.
