contents We consider a time-dependent coupled Navier--Stokes/generalized poroelastic flow problem and propose a unified and monolithic finite element discretization based on implicit time stepping. To handle the fluid-structure interface we employ a Nitsche-type formulation. The resulting discrete problem is shown to be well-posed using the theory of differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) and the Banach fixed-point theorem. We prove stability and derive a priori error estimates for the fully discrete scheme. The stability and convergence of the method are ensured by a properly chosen penalty parameter independent of the mesh size. Numerical tests are presented to confirm the theoretical convergence rates and to illustrate the ability of the method to capture the coupled dynamics accurately.
