The upwind finite difference fractional steps method for nonlinear coupled systems

For nonlinear coupled system of multilayer dynamics of fluids in porous media, a second‐order upwind finite‐difference fractional‐steps scheme applicable to parallel arithmetic are put forward, and two‐ and three‐dimensional schemes are used to form a complete set. Some techniques, such as calculus of variations, multiplicative commutation rule of difference operators, decomposition of high‐order difference operators, and prior estimates are adopted. Optimal order estimates in l² norm are derived to determine the error in the approximate solution. This method has already been applied to the numerical simulation of migration‐accumulation of oil resources. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2007

Modification of upwind finite difference fractional step methods by the transient state of the semiconductor device

The mathematical model of the three‐dimensional semiconductor devices of heat conduction is described by a system of four quasi‐linear partial differential equations for initial boundary value problem.

Superconvergent error estimates for a class of discretization methods for a coupled first‐order system with discontinuous coefficients

Lithological discontinuities in a reservoir generate discontinuous coefficients for the first‐order system of equations used in the simulation of fluid flow in porous media. Systems of conservation laws with discontinuous coefficients also arise in many other physical applications. In this article, we present a class of discretization schemes that include variants of mixed finite element methods, finite volume element methods, and cell‐centered finite difference equations as special cases. Error estimates of the order O(h²) in certain discrete L²‐norms are established for both the primary independent variable and its flux, even in the presence of discontinuous coefficients in the flux term. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Error estimates of finite volume element method for the pollution in groundwater flow

In this article, we study the finite volume element methods for numerical solution of the pollution in groundwater flow in a two‐dimensional convex polygonal domain. These type flow are uniform transport in a fully saturated incompressible porous media, which may be anisotropic with respect to hydraulic conductivity, but features a direction independent of dispersivity. A fully finite volume scheme is analyzed in this article. The discretization is defined via a planar mesh consisting of piecewise triangles. Optimal order error estimates in H¹ and L² norms are obtained. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2009     

Global Existence of Smooth Solutions and Convergence to Barenblatt Solutions for the Physical Vacuum Free Boundary Problem of Compressible Euler Equations with Damping

For the physical vacuum free boundary problem with the sound speed being C^1/2‐Hölder continuous near vacuum boundaries of the one‐dimensional compressible Euler equations with damping, the global existence of the smooth solution is proved, which is shown to converge to the Barenblatt self‐similar solution for the porous media equation with the same total mass when the initial datum is a small perturbation of the Barenblatt solution. The pointwise convergence with a rate of density, the convergence rate of velocity in the supremum norm, and the precise expanding rate of the physical vacuum boundaries are also given. The proof is based on a construction of higher‐order weighted functionals with both space and time weights capturing the behavior of solutions both near vacuum states and in large time, an introduction of a new ansatz, higher‐order nonlinear energy estimates, and elliptic estimates.© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Interface boundary value problems of Robin‐transmission type for the Stokes and Brinkman systems on n‐dimensional Lipschitz domains: applications

In this paper, we describe a layer potential analysis in order to show an existence result for an interface boundary value problem of Robin‐transmission type for the Stokes and Brinkman systems on Lipschitz domains in Euclidean setting, when the given boundary data belong to some L^p or Sobolev spaces associated to such domains. Applications related to an exterior three‐dimensional Stokes flow past two concentric porous spheres with stress jump conditions on the fluid‐porous interface are also considered.

A posteriori error estimates for finite element approximations to the wave equation with discontinuous coefficients

We derive residual‐based a posteriori error estimates of finite element method for linear wave equation with discontinuous coefficients in a two‐dimensional convex polygonal domain. A posteriori error estimates for both the space‐discrete case and for implicit fully discrete scheme are discussed in L^∞(L²) norm. The main ingredients used in deriving a posteriori estimates are new Clément type interpolation estimates in conjunction with appropriate adaption of the elliptic reconstruction technique of continuous and discrete solutions. We use only an energy argument to establish a posteriori error estimates with optimal order convergence in the L^∞(L²) norm.     

An optimal‐order error estimate on an H1‐Galerkin mixed method for a nonlinear parabolic equation in porous medium flow

We present an H¹‐Galerkin mixed finite element method for a nonlinear parabolic equation, which models a compressible fluid flow process in subsurface porous media. The method possesses the advantages of mixed finite element methods while avoiding directly inverting the permeability tensor, which is important especially in a low permeability zone. We conducted theoretical analysis to study the existence and uniqueness of the numerical solutions of the scheme and prove an optimal‐order error estimate for the method. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We analyze a combined method consisting of the mixed finite element method for pressure equation and the discontinuous Galerkin method for saturation equation for the coupled system of incompressible two‐phase flow in porous media. The existence and uniqueness of numerical solutions are established under proper conditions by using a constructive approach. Optimal error estimates in L²(H¹) for saturation and in L ^∞ (H(div)) for velocity are derived. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A priori error estimates in L^∞(L²) are derived for velocity, pressure, and concentration. Numerical results are presented to substantiate the validity of the theoretical results. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2012     

Global Well‐Posedness of the Three‐Dimensional Primitive Equations with Only Horizontal Viscosity and Diffusion

In this paper, we consider the initial boundary value problem of the three‐dimensional primitive equations for planetary oceanic and atmospheric dynamics with only horizontal eddy viscosity in the horizontal momentum equations and only horizontal diffusion in the temperature equation. Global well‐posedness of the strong solution is established for any H² initial data. An N‐dimensional logarithmic Sobolev embedding inequality, which bounds the L^∞‐norm in terms of the L^q‐norms up to a logarithm of the L^p‐norm for p > N of the first‐order derivatives, and a system version of the classic Grönwall inequality are exploited to establish the required a~priori H² estimates for global regularity.© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
