Abstract:
In this paper, a combined numerical method consisting of the mixed finite element method (MFE) for the pressure equation and the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for the saturation equation is proposed to solve hybrid-dimensional fracture models of incompressible two-phase flow in porous media. The hybrid-dimensional fracture models treat fractures as ( d - 1)- dimensional interfaces immersed in d-dimensional matrix domains and take fluid exchange between fractures and surrounding matrix into account. Fully implicit approximation schemes combining the MFE-DG method with the backward Euler time discretization for the models with both a single fracture and an intersecting fractures network are all formulated successfully. The stability of the discrete solution is analyzed, and optimal error estimates in H(div)-norm for the velocity and in L2-norm for the pressure are derived, as well as in the discrete H1-norm for the saturation. Numerical experiments with a single fracture and a T-junction intersecting fractures network are conducted to verify the accuracy of our theoretical analysis.
