Abstract

Case 5, Level 1 of the international HYDROCOIN groundwater flow modelling project, is an example of idealised How over a salt dome. Several independent teams simulated this problem using different models. Results obtained by different codes can be contradictory. We develop a new numerical model, TVDV-2D based on the mixed hybrid finite elements approximation for flow, which provides a good approximation of the velocity, and the discontinuous finite elements approximation to solve advection equation, which gives a good approximation of concentration even when dispersion tensor is very small. We use the TVDV-2D code to simulate the s
