Dinh, Q. V.; Glowinski, R.; PĂ©riaux, J.; Terrasson, G. On the coupling of viscous and inviscid models for incompressible fluid flows via domain decomposition. (English) Zbl 0652.76023 Domain decomposition methods for partial differential equations, 1st Int. Symp., Paris/France 1987, 350-369 (1988). Summary: [For the entire collection see Zbl 0649.00019.] We discuss the coupling between the Navier-Stokes equations for unsteady incompressible viscous flows with the Laplace equation modeling inviscid incompressible potential flows. The coupling is done through a domain decomposition procedure with overlapping; with such technique one can take advantage of an operator splitting technique for the time discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations. Numerical results obtained from finite element approximations are presented showing that the present method provides a matching technique of good quality.
