Convergence analysis of a DDFV scheme for a system describing miscible fluid flows in porous media

چکیده
In this paper, we prove the convergence of a discrete duality finite volume scheme for a system of partial differential equations describing miscible displacement in porous media. This system is made of two coupled equations: an anisotropic diffusion equation on the pressure and a convection-diffusion-dispersion equation on the concentration. We first establish some a priori estimates satisfied by the sequences of approximate solutions. Then, it yields the compactness of these sequences. Passing to the limit in the numerical scheme, we finally obtain that the limit of the sequence of approximate solutions is a weak solution to the problem under study.

Convergence Analysis of a Mixed Finite Volume Scheme for an Elliptic-Parabolic System Modeling Miscible Fluid Flows in Porous Media
We study a finite volume discretization of a strongly coupled elliptic-parabolic PDE system describing miscible displacement in a porous medium. We discretize each equation by a finite volume scheme which allows a wide variety of unstructured grids (in any space dimension) and gives strong enough convergence for handling the nonlinear coupling of the equations. We prove the convergence of the s...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of the Permeability and Inertial Effect on Fluid Flow through Homogeneous Porous Media
The value of the permeability in fluid flow through porous media is important for process investigation. In low Reynolds number, the classic Darcy’s law is suitable for simulation of fluid flow. In this paper, an experimental study for evaluation of preformed fiber permeability has been done. Also, the deviations from the classical Darcy law by experimental and numerical simulation of the N...
متن کاملAn experimental study on hydraulic behavior of free-surface radial flow in coarse-grained porous media
The equations of fluids in porous media are very useful in designing the rockfill and diversion dams, gabions, breakwaters and ground water reserves. Researches have been showed that the Forchheimer equation is not sufficient for the analysis of hydraulic behavior of free-surface radial flows; because, in these flows, in addition to the hydraulic gradient and velocity, the variable of radius is...
