Mr. Laydi et M. Ghilani, A GENERAL FINITE-VOLUME SCHEME FOR AN ELLIPTIC-HYPERBOLIC SYSTEM USING A VARIATIONAL APPROACH, Zeitschrift fur angewandte Mathematik und Physik, 49(4), 1998, pp. 630-643
We study the convergence of general finite volume schemes for the diph
asic flow problem in porous media mu(t) - div(u del p) = 0 and Delta p
= 0 in a bounded domain. A general formula for the numerical flux on
a triangular mesh is given. The stability and an estimate of the total
variation of the approximate solutions are obtained by means of a var
iational method; the convergence follows easily for general data.
