This paper presents a numerical method to simulate an incompressible fluid through an immersed porous interface. The interface is modeled by a surface measure term in the Navier-Stokes equations and it is characterized by a resistance parameter. This approach can be used, for example, to model valves or to simulate blood flood through an immersed stent. Starting from a monolithic formulation proposed recently, a fractional step algorithm is derived. The difficult point is that this formulation is singular when the resistance vanishes, which can be a serious issue in some applications. We show that an appropriate Nitsche treatment of the interface condition fixes this problem and ensures uniform energy stability in time for any nonnegative value of the resistance. The theoretical stability and convergence results are illustrated with numerical experiments.
