Summary: A unified stabilized finite volume element method is proposed for the Darcy-Stokes problem. For the discretization form, two grids are needed; one is triangulation and the other is a quadrilateral mesh. The velocity is approximated using nonconforming piecewise linear and pressure piecewise constants. The proposed unified method in this paper is shown to be stable and optimally convergent for both velocity and pressure. Moreover, numerical experiments are given to demonstrate the theoretical results.
