A nonconforming finite element method for the Biot's consolidation model in poroelasticity

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...

Parameter-Robust Discretization and Preconditioning of Biot's Consolidation Model

Biot’s consolidation model in poroelasticity has a number of applications in science, medicine, and engineering. The model depends on various parameters, and in practical applications these parameters range over several orders of magnitude. A current challenge is to design discretization techniques and solution algorithms that are well behaved with respect to these variations. The purpose of th...

Robust finite element methods for Biot’s consolidation model

We propose new locking-free finite element methods for Biot’s consolidation model by coupling nonconforming and mixed finite elements. We show a priori error estimates of semidiscrete and fully discrete solutions. The main advantage of our method is that a uniform-in-time pressure error estimate is provided with an analytic proof. In our error analysis, we do not use Grönwall’s inequality, so t...

Analysis of a discontinuous Galerkin method for the Biot's consolidation problem

In this paper, a fully discrete stabilized discontinuous Galerkin method is proposed to solve the Biot's consolidation problem. The existence and uniqueness of the finite element solution are obtained. The stability of the fully discrete solution is discussed. The corresponding error estimates for the approximation of displacement and pressure in a mesh dependent norm are obtained. The error es...
