Adaptive simulations of two-phase flow by discontinuous Galerkin methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present and compare primal discontinuous Galerkin formulations of the two-phase flow equations. The wetting phase pressure and saturation equations are decoupled and solved sequentially. Proposed adaptivity in space and time techniques yield accurate and efficient solutions. Slope limiters valid on non-conforming meshes are also presented. Numerical examples of homogeneous and heterogeneous media are considered. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

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...
متن کاملAn Output-Based Adaptive Hybridized Discontinuous Galerkin Method on Deforming Domains
In this paper we present an output-based adaptive method for unsteady simulations of convection-dominated flows on deformable domains. The target discretization is the hybridized discontinuous Galerkin method (HDG), which offers potential computational savings at high order compared to the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. Mesh deformation is achieved through an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian ...
متن کاملA hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin method for two-phase flow in heterogeneous porous media
We present a new method for simulating incompressible immiscible two-phase flow in porous media. The semi-implicit method decouples the wetting phase pressure and saturation equations. The equations are discretized using a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method. The proposed method is of high order, conserves global/local mass balance, and the number of globally coupled degrees of fre...

We present a novel approach to the simulation of miscible displacement by employing adaptive enriched Galerkin finite element methods (EG) coupled with entropy residual stabilization for transport. In particular, numerical simulations of viscous fingering instabilities in heterogeneous porous media and Hele-Shaw cells are illustrated. EG is formulated by enriching the conforming continuous Gale...

This article considers a posteriori error estimation and anisotropic mesh refinement for three-dimensional laminar aerodynamic flow simulations. The optimal order symmetric interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin discretization which has previously been developed for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions is extended to three dimensions. Symmetry boundary conditions are give...
