Abstract

Abstract Stokes’s equation in the fluid domain and Brinkman’s equation in the porous media are combined in the current study which is designated by the Stokes-Brinkman coupling. The current paper gives a theoretical analysis of the Stokes-Brinkman coupling. It has been shown that such a model is a good match for the knee joint. A flow model has been investigated in order to get a better understanding of the convective diffusion of the viscous flow along the articular surfaces between the joints. The Beavers and Joseph slip conditions which are a specific boundary condition for the synovial fluid are used to solve the governing system of partial differential equations for the synovial fluid and the results are provided here. We develop formulas for the interfacial velocity for both flow through special slip condition and analyse the link between the slip parameters $$\alpha $$ α and $$\beta $$ β. Thus, the damping force due to the porous medium naturally when we non-dimensionalize, some parameter which are controlling the structure like, $$\beta $$ β and $$\alpha $$ α. Through the development of an analytical solution and numerical simulation (using the finite volume approach) it is hoped that the mechanisms of nutritional transport into the synovial joint will be better understood. According to the data the average concentration has a negative connection with both the axial distance and the duration spent in the experiment. Many graphs have been utilized to gain understanding into the problem’s various characteristics including velocity and concentration, among others. Hyaluronate (HA) is considered to be present in porous cartilage surfaces and the viscosity of synovial fluid fluctuates in response to the amount of HA present.
