Mixed Finite Elements for the Nonlinear Richards’ Equation
In this work, we present a two-dimensional mixed-hybrid finite element model of variably saturated flow on unstructured triangular meshes. Velocities are approximated using lowest order Raviart-Thomas (RT0) elements with piecewise constant pressure. The resulting nonlinear systems of algebraic equations are solved using Picard or Newton iterations in combination with ad hoc preconditioning tech...
متن کاملAn Integrated Approach for Modeling Water Flow and Solute Transport in the Vadose Zone
As geographical information systems (GIS) are increasingly being applied to surface and subsurface flow and transport modeling issues, it becomes important to more clearly define potential advantages and achievable objectives with this technology. This chapter describes an integrated conceptual framework for predicting basin-scale solute loading rates through and from the vadose zone. The appro...
متن کاملOrder of Convergence Estimates for an Euler Implicit, Mixed Finite Element Discretization of Richards' Equation
We analyze a discretization method for a class of degenerate parabolic problems that includes the Richards’ equation. This analysis applies to the pressure-based formulation and considers both variably and fully saturated regimes. To overcome the difficulties posed by the lack in regularity, we first apply the Kirchhoff transformation and then integrate the resulting equation in time. We state ...
متن کاملA Closed-Form Solution for Two-Dimensional Diffusion Equation Using Crank-Nicolson Finite Difference Method
In this paper a finite difference method for solving 2-dimensional diffusion equation is presented. The method employs Crank-Nicolson scheme to improve finite difference formulation and its convergence and stability. The obtained solution will be a recursive formula in each step of which a system of linear equations should be solved. Given the specific form of obtained matrices, rather than sol...
متن کاملAn iterative geostatistical inverse method for steady flow in the vadose zone
An iterative geostatistical inverse approach is developed to estimate conditional effective unsaturated hydraulic conductivity parameters, soil-water pressure head, and degree of saturation in heterogeneous vadose zones. This approach is similar to the classical cokriging technique, and it uses a linear estimator that depends on covariances and cross covariances of unsaturated hydraulic paramet...
