A second order in time, decoupled, unconditionally stable numerical scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy system

چکیده
We propose a novel second order in time, decoupled and unconditionally stable numerical scheme for solving the Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy (CHD) system which models two-phase flow in porous medium or in a Hele-Shaw cell. The scheme is based on the ideas of second order convex-splitting for the Cahn-Hilliard equation and pressure-correction for the Darcy equation. We show that the scheme is uniquely solvable, unconditionally energy stable and mass-conservative. Ample numerical results are presented to gauge the efficiency and robustness of our scheme. Keywords— Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy; diffuse interface model; energy law; unconditional stability; pressure-correction; decoupling

Decoupled energy-law preserving numerical schemes for the Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy system
We study two novel decoupled energy-law preserving numerical schemes for solving the CahnHilliard-Darcy (CHD) system which models two-phase flow in porous medium or in a Hele-Shaw cell. In the first scheme, the velocity in the Cahn-Hilliard equation is treated explicitly so that the Darcy equation is completely decoupled from the Cahn-Hilliard equation. In the second scheme, an intermediate vel...
متن کاملUniquely solvable and energy stable decoupled numerical schemes for the Cahn-Hilliard-Stokes-Darcy system for two-phase flows in karstic geometry
We propose and analyze two novel decoupled numerical schemes for solving the Cahn-HilliardStokes-Darcy (CHSD) model for two-phase flows in karstic geometry. In the first numerical scheme, we explore a fractional step method (operator splitting) to decouple the phase-field (Cahn-Hilliard equation) from the velocity field (Stokes-Darcy fluid equations). To further decouple the Stokes-Darcy system...
متن کاملA second order in time, uniquely solvable, unconditionally stable numerical scheme for Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes equation
We propose a novel second order in time numerical scheme for Cahn-Hilliard-NavierStokes phase field model with matched density. The scheme is based on second order convex-splitting for the Cahn-Hilliard equation and pressure-projection for the Navier-Stokes equation. We show that the scheme is mass-conservative, satisfies a modified energy law and is therefore unconditionally stable. Moreover, ...
متن کاملConvergence analysis of a fully discrete finite difference scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard-Hele-Shaw equation
We present an error analysis for an unconditionally energy stable, fully discrete finite difference scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard-Hele-Shaw equation, a modified Cahn-Hilliard equation coupled with the Darcy flow law. The scheme, proposed in [47], is based on the idea of convex splitting. In this paper, we rigorously prove first order convergence in time and second order convergence in space. Ins...
متن کاملStability and Convergence of a Second Order Mixed Finite Element Method for the Cahn-Hilliard Equation
In this paper we devise and analyze an unconditionally stable, second-order-in-time numerical scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard equation in two and three space dimensions. We prove that our two-step scheme is unconditionally energy stable and unconditionally uniquely solvable. Furthermore, we show that the discrete phase variable is bounded in L∞ (0, T ;L∞) and the discrete chemical potential is bou...
