Abstract

In this work we develop a discretisation method for the Brinkman problem that is uniformly well-behaved in all regimes (as identified by a local dimensionless number with the meaning of a friction coefficient) and supports general meshes as well as arbitrary approximation orders. The method is obtained combining ideas from the Hybrid High-Order and Discrete de Rham methods, and its robustness rests on a potential reconstruction and stabilisation terms that change in nature according to the value of the local friction coefficient. We derive error estimates that, thanks to the presence of cut-off factors, are valid across all the regimes and provide extensive numerical validation.
