Some remarks on a mathematical model for water flow in porous media with competition between transport and diffusion
<|reference_start|>Some remarks on a mathematical model for water flow in porous media with competition between transport and diffusion: The contribution deals with the mathematical modelling of fluid flow in porous media, in particular water flow in soils. The motivation is to describe the competition between gravity and capillarity, or, in other words, between transport and diffusion. The analysis is based on a mathematical model developed by B. Detmann, C. Gavioli, and P. Krej\v{c}\'i, in which the effects of gravity are included in a novel way. The model consists of a nonlinear partial differential equation describing both the gravitational transport and the capillary diffusion of water. Although analytical solutions can be obtained for some special cases, only numerical solutions are available in more general situations. The solving algorithm is based on a time discretisation and the finite element method, and is written in Matlab. The results of the numerical simulations are shown and the behaviour of the model is discussed.<|reference_end|>
