Convergence of high order methods for miscible displacement Yekaterina Epshteyn 1, Beatrice Riviére 2 1 Department of Mathematical Sciences, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA2 Department of Mathematics, University of Pittsburgh, 301 Thackeray, Pittsburgh, PA 15260, USA Received by the editors September 24, 2007 Abstract We derive error estimates for fully discrete scheme using primal discontinuous Galerkin discretization in space and backward Euler discretization in time. The estimates in the energy norm are optimal with respect to the mesh size and suboptimal with respect to the polynomial degree. The proposed scheme is of high order as polynomial approximations of pressure and concentration can take any degree. In addition, the method can handle different types of boundary conditions ana is well-suited for unstructured meshes.
