Unconditional stability and optimal error analysis of mass conservative characteristic mixed FEM for wormhole propagation

作者:

Highlights:

• We consider a mass conservative type method for simulating wormhole propagation in porous media, where mass conservative characteristic finite element method (FEM) is used for the solute transport equation, the mixed FEM is used for velocity-pressure equation and Galerkin FEM for porosity equation.

• By a novel rigorous analysis, the optimal estimates are obtained without time-step restriction, while the error estimates are more accurate and reasonable compared with all previous work.

• We also give some numerical experiments to verify the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed method.
