In this paper, we develop local discontinuous Galerkin method for the two-dimensional coupled system of incompressible miscible displacement problem. Optimal error estimates in for concentration c, for and for velocity are derived. The main techniques in the analysis include the treatment of the inter-element jump terms which arise from the discontinuous nature of the numerical method, the nonlinearity, and the coupling of the models. The main difficulty is how to treat the inter-element discontinuities of two independent solution variables (one from the flow equation and the other from the transport equation) at cell interfaces. Numerical experiments are shown to demonstrate the theoretical results.

An Eulerian-Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin method for transport problems and its application to nonlinear dynamics

Xiaofeng Cai, Jing-Mei Qiu, Yang Yang

Summary: The paper introduces a new method called ELDG, which incorporates a modified adjoint problem and integration of PDE over a space-time region partitioned by time-dependent linear functions. By introducing a new flux term to account for errors in characteristics approximation, the ELDG method combines the advantages of SL DG and classical Eulerian RK DG methods. The use of linear functions for characteristics approximation in the EL DG framework simplifies shapes of upstream cells and reduces time step constraints.

High order sign-preserving and well-balanced exponential Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin methods for the shallow water equations with friction

Ruize Yang, Yang Yang, Yulong Xing

Summary: In this paper, a family of second and third order temporal integration methods for stiff ordinary differential equations is proposed, combining traditional Runge-Kutta and exponential Runge-Kutta methods to preserve sign and steady-state properties. These methods are applied with well-balanced discontinuous Galerkin spatial discretization to solve nonlinear shallow water equations with friction terms. The fully discrete schemes are demonstrated to satisfy well-balanced, positivity-preserving, and sign-preserving properties simultaneously, showing good numerical results on various test cases.

A hybrid-mixed finite element method for single-phase Darcy flow in fractured porous media

Guosheng Fu, Yang Yang

Summary: We propose a hybrid-mixed finite element method for a novel hybrid-dimensional model of single-phase Darcy flow in fractured porous media. Our method distinguishes between conductive and blocking fractures and uses a combination of classical interface model and recent Dirac-delta function approach to handle them. The use of Dirac-delta function approach allows for nonconforming meshes with respect to the blocking fractures. Our numerical scheme produces locally conservative velocity approximations and leads to a symmetric positive definite linear system involving pressure degrees of freedom on the mesh skeleton only.

Provable convergence of blow-up time of numerical approximations for a class of convection-diffusion equations

Hui Guo, Xueting Liang, Yang Yang

Summary: In this paper, numerical algorithms are investigated to capture the blow-up time for a class of convection-diffusion equations with blow-up solutions. The positivity-preserving technique is used to enforce stability and the L1-stability and L2-norm of numerical approximations are utilized to detect the blow-up phenomenon. Two methods for defining the numerical blow-up time are proposed and their convergence to the exact time is proven.

The hybrid-dimensional Darcy?s law: a non-conforming reinterpreted discrete fracture model (RDFM) for single-phase flow in fractured media

Ziyao Xu, Zhaoqin Huang, Yang Yang

Summary: In this paper, a novel discrete fracture model is proposed for flow simulation of fractured porous media with flow blocking barriers on non-conforming meshes. The traditional Darcy's law is modified into a hybrid-dimensional Darcy's law to represent the fractures and barriers using Dirac-delta functions in the permeability tensor and resistance tensor, respectively. The model accurately accounts for the influence of highly conductive fractures and blocking barriers on non-conforming meshes, and the local discontinuous Galerkin method is employed to handle the pressure/flux discontinuity.

Sign-preserving second-order IMPEC time discretization and its application in compressible miscible displacement with Darcy-Forchheimer models

Wenjing Feng, Hui Guo, Lulu Tian, Yang Yang

Summary: In this paper, we propose a sign-preserving second-order IMplicit Pressure Explicit Concentration (IMPEC) time method for generalized coupled non-Darcy flow and transport problems in petroleum engineering. The method utilizes interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin (IPDG) methods for spatial discretization and a bound-preserving technique to ensure physically relevant numerical approximations. The proposed method is different from previous algorithms as it linearizes the velocity equation and introduces a direct solver to solve for velocity, resulting in first-order accurate solutions and reduced computational cost.
