A new discontinuous Galerkin mixed finite element method for compressible miscible displacement problem

A new combined discontinuous Galerkin method is proposed for compressible miscible displacement problem in porous media. Here, a splitting positive definite mixed finite element method is used for the pressure and Darcy velocity, while an interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin (IPDG) method is used for the transport equation. The stability and convergence of this algorithm are considered, and the optimal a priori error estimate in l(infinity)(L-2) for velocity, pressure and concentration are given. Finally we provide some numerical results to confirm our theoretical analysis, and simulate compressible fluid flows through homogeneous and isotropic porous media. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
