| contents | This study addresses the well-posedness of a hemivariational inequality derived from the convective Brinkman-Forchheimer extended Darcy (CBFeD) model in both two and three dimensions. The CBFeD model describes the behavior of incompressible viscous fluid flow through a porous medium, incorporating the effects of convection, damping, and nonlinear resistance. The mathematical framework captures steady-state flow conditions under a no-slip boundary assumption, with a non-monotone boundary condition that links the total fluid pressure and the velocity's normal component through a Clarke subdifferential formulation. To facilitate the analysis, we introduce an auxiliary hemivariational inequality resembling a nonlinear Stokes-type problem with damping and pumping terms, which serves as a foundational tool in establishing the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for the CBFeD model. The analytical strategy integrates techniques from convex minimization theory with fixed-point methods, specifically employing either the Banach contraction mapping principle or Schauder's fixed point theorem. The Banach-based approach, in particular, leads to a practical iterative algorithm that solves the original nonlinear hemivariational inequality by sequentially solving Stokes-type problems, ensuring convergence of the solution sequence. Additionally, we derive equivalent variational formulations in terms of minimization problems. These formulations lay the groundwork for the design of efficient and stable numerical schemes tailored to simulate flows governed by the CBFeD model. |
