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.

We consider a linearised model of incompressible inviscid flow. Using a regularisation based on the Hodge Laplacian we prove existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for smooth domains. The model problem is then discretised using [Formula: see text](div)-conforming finite element methods, for which we prove error estimates for the velocity approximation in the [Formula: see text]-norm of order [Formula: see text]. We also prove error estimates for the pressure error in the [Formula: see text]-norm.

Steklov Eigenvalue Problem

This paper characterizes the spectrum of a fourth-order Steklov eigenvalue problem by using the spectral theory of completely continuous operator. The conforming finite element approximation for this problem is analyzed, and the error estimate is given. Finally, the bounds for Steklov eigenvalues on the square domain are provided by Bogner-Fox-Schmit element and Morley element.
