Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical method for solving systems of partial differential equations describing flow in porous media with an embedded and inclined conduit pipe. This work considers a coupled continuum pipe-flow/Darcy model. The numerical schemes presented are based on combinations of the quasi-Wilson element on anisotropic mesh and the conforming finite element on regular mesh. The existence and uniqueness of the approximation solution are obtained. Optimal error estimates in both L2 and H1 norms are obtained independent of the regularity condition on the mesh. Numerical examples show the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed scheme.
