3 3 -The variable and its gradient are approximated simultaneously with the same order of convergence -The mass is conserved locally (over each element E) -They can easily handle full tensors especially for dispersion -They enforce the continuity of the fluxes across the interelement boundaries 1 rst Couplex Workshop, July 26-27 2001 NUMERICAL METHODS : Mixed Finite Element The flux is given by : RT0 basis functions defined by : j=1,...,nf A j : face (3D) or edge (2D) of E n Aj : outward normal vector to A j

5 5 1 rst Couplex Workshop, July 26-27 2001 NUMERICAL METHODS : Discontinuous Finite Element The hyperbolic part of the transport equation is solved by DFE. C is approximated by : : nodal value of C in element E, m Ei : linear basis functions, nn : number of nodes per element. Defining: the linear variation of C on edge/face A inside of E the linear variation of C on edge/face A outside of E The scheme is fully explicit and second order in time (Runge-Kutta scheme).

7 7 1 rst Couplex Workshop, July 26-27 2001 NUMERICAL METHODS : Discontinuous Finite Element Step 3 : stabilization with a slope limiting procedure min(i)/max (i) : min/max of over each element containing i min(E)/max (E) : min/max value of over each element which has a common node with E. E Optimization : Constraints : then Extrema :

8 8 1 rst Couplex Workshop, July 26-27 2001 COUPLEX I Main difficulties : - flatness of the domain (Lx=25000 m et Ly=695 m) ; - high hydraulic conductivity contrasts (about 10 6 ) ; - high dispersivity coef. contrasts (higher than 10 3 ) ; - high computational accuracy (C < 10 -12 with max (C SOURCE ) = 0.0015) ; - boundary conditions which generate a flow pattern which is not // to the geological structures - very long time predicition.
