Mass Conserving Finite Element Methods for the Brinkman Problem

In soil mechanics the Brinkman model describes the flow in a porous medium taking into account the viscous effects. The resulting model is a parameter-dependent combination of the classical Darcy and Stokes flow models.

We will consider mass conserving finite element methods for the Brinkman problem, along with some numerical examples.
