A mixed formulation is introduced for the singular problem of Darcy flow in a porous medium in a region containing a narrow fracture or channel with width O ( ε ) and high permeability O1 ε. The solution converges as ε  → 0 to that of Darcy flow coupled to tangential flow on the lower‐dimensional interface or boundary. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
