A Robin-Robin splitting method for the Stokes-Biot fluid-poroelastic structure interaction model

We develop and analyze a splitting method for fluid-poroelastic structure interaction. The fluid is described using the Stokes equations and the poroelastic structure is described using the Biot equations. The transmission conditions on the interface are mass conservation, balance of stresses, and the Beavers-Joseph-Saffman condition. The splitting method involves single and decoupled Stokes and Biot solves at each time step. The subdomain problems use Robin boundary conditions on the interface, which are obtained from the transmission conditions.
