A Numerical Approach to a Nonlinear and Degenerate Parabolic Problem by Regularization Scheme

چکیده
In this work we propose a numerical scheme for a nonlinear and degenerate parabolic problem having application in petroleum reservoir and groundwater aquifer simulation. The degeneracy of the equation includes both locally fast and slow diffusion (i.e. the diffusion coefficients may explode or vanish in some point). The main difficulty is that the true solution is typically lacking in regularity. Our numerical approach includes a regularization step and a standard discretization procedure by means of C0-piecewise linear finite elements in space and backward-differences in time. Within this frame work, we analyze the accuracy of the scheme by using an integral test function and obtain several error estimates in suitable norms.

A numerical scheme for solving nonlinear backward parabolic problems
In this paper a nonlinear backward parabolic problem in one dimensional space is considered. Using a suitable iterative algorithm, the problem is converted to a linear backward parabolic problem. For the corresponding problem, the backward finite differences method with suitable grid size is applied. It is shown that if the coefficients satisfy some special conditions, th...

The determination of an unknown boundary condition, in a nonlinaer inverse diffusion problem is considered. For solving these ill-posed inverse problems, Galerkin method based on Sinc basis functions for space and time will be used. To solve the system of linear equation, a noise is imposed and Tikhonove regularization is applied. By using a sensor located at a point in the domain of $x$, say $...

In this paper we analyze the convergence of a numerical scheme for a class of degenerate parabolic problems. Such problems are often used to model reactions in porous media, and involve a nonlinear, possibly vanishing diffusion. The scheme considered here involves the Kirchhoff transformation coupled with the regularization of the nonlinearity, and is based on the Euler implicit time stepping a...
متن کاملFinite Volume Schemes for Nonlinear Parabolic Problems: Another Regularization Method
Abstract. On one hand, the existence of a solution to degenerate parabolic equations, without a nonlinear convection term, can be proven using the results of Alt and Luckhaus, Minty and Kolmogorov. On the other hand, the proof of uniqueness of an entropy weak solution to a nonlinear scalar hyperbolic equation, first provided by Krushkov, has been extended in two directions: Carrillo has handled...
