A finite volume element method is applied to approximate the continuum pipe‐flow/Darcy problem, which models the coupled conduit flow and porous media flow in Karst aquifers. A decoupled scheme is proposed for solving the coupled discretization problem. Optimal error estimates in L 2 norm and H 1 norm are given in this article. Some numerical examples are presented to verify the theoretical results and demonstrate the effectiveness of the decoupling approach. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
