We develop and analyze a model for the interaction of a quasi-Newtonian free fluid with a poroelastic medium. The flow in the fluid region is described by the nonlinear Stokes equations and in the poroelastic medium by the nonlinear quasi-static Biot model. Equilibrium and kinematic conditions are imposed on the interface. We establish existence and uniqueness of a solution to the weak formulation and its semidiscrete continuous-in-time finite element approximation. We present error analysis, complemented by numerical experiments.
