چکیده

Finite element methods are used to solve a nonlinear system of partial diierential equations which models incompressible miscible displacement of one uid by another in porous media. From a backward nite diierence discretization we deene a sequentially implicit time-stepping algorithm which uncouples the system. The Galerkin method is employed to approximate the pressure, and improvement velocity eld approximations are calculated via a post-processing technique which involves the conservation of the mass and Darcy's law. A stabilized nite element (SUPG) method is applied to the convection-diiusion equation delivering accurate solutions. Quasi-optimal order error estimates are obtained under suitable regularity hypotheses.

Parallel Nonoverlapping DDM Combined with the Characteristic Method for Incompressible Miscible Displacements in Porous Media

Two types of approximation schemes are established for incompressible miscible displacements in porous media. First, standard mixed finite element method is used to approximate the velocity and pressure. And then parallel non-overlapping domain decomposition methods combined with the characteristics method are presented for the concentration. These methods use the characteristic method to handl...

Discretizations of Convection Terms in Hybrid Mimetic Mixed Methods

We present different ways, coming from Finite Volume or Mixed Finite Element frameworks, to discretize convection terms in Hybrid Finite Volume, Mimetic Finite Difference and Mixed Finite Volume methods for elliptic equations. We compare them through several numerical tests, and we present an application to a system modeling miscible flows in porous media.

An Error Estimate for Mmoc-mfem Based on Convolution for Porous Media Flow

Mathematical models used to describe porous medium flow processes in petroleum reservoir simulation, groundwater contaminant transport, and other applications lead to a coupled system of time-dependent nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) [1]. Conventional second-order finite difference or finite element methods (FDMs, FEMs) tend to yield solutions with spurious oscillations. In indu...

A Hybridized Crouziex-Raviart Nonconforming Finite Element and Discontinuous Galerkin Method for a Two-Phase Flow in the Porous Media

In this study, we present a numerical solution for the two-phase incompressible flow in the porous media under isothermal condition using a hybrid of the linear lower-order nonconforming finite element and the interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. This hybridization is developed for the first time in the two-phase modeling and considered as the main novelty of this research.The p...
