Mixed Finite Element Method and numerical analysis of a convection-diffusion-reaction model in a porous medium
share
A hydrogeological model for the spread of pollution in an aquifer is considered. The model consists in a convection-diffusion-reaction equation involving the dispersion tensor which depends nonlinearly of the fluid velocity. We introduce an explicit flux in the model and use a mixed Finite Element Method for the discretization. We provide existence, uniqueness and stability results for the discrete model. A convergence result is obtained for the semi-discretized in time problem and for the fully discretization.
