Comparison between different numerical discretizations for a Darcy-Forchheimer model

Hilda López, Brígida Molina, and José J. Salas

Abstract

This paper is a numerical study of different discretizations for a mixed formulation of the Darcy-Forchheimer equation. Different finite elements are used: constant functions, conformal linear functions and Crouzeix-Raviart non-conformal finite elements. The behavior of the discretizations is analyzed through a comparative study of some test problems. The numerical results suggest that one of the proposed discretizations has better convergence properties for the velocity.
