Examples of 2D Darcy flows

The following two examples come from [BD].

1. Example : 2D Darcy flow, chessboard pressure

1.1. Input parameters

Notation Quantity Type Unit

\(\underline{\underline\kappa}\)

Permeability

order 2 tensor

\(m^2Pa^{-1}s^{-1}\)

\(f(x,y)\)

Flux source term

scalar function

\(s^{-1}\)

1.2. Model & Toolbox

We consider a 2D unit square \(\Omega=[0,1]\times[0,1]\) whose boundary is denoted \(\Gamma\). The following problem is to be solved in \(\Omega\).

\[\left\{\begin{array}{rll} \underline u+\underline{\underline\kappa}\nabla p=&0&\text{in }\Omega\\ \nabla\cdot\underline u=&f&\text{in }\Omega\\ \end{array}\right.\]

with the additional condition \(\int_\Omega f=0\). The pressure is denoted \(p\) and the velocity \(\underline u\). We assume the material permeability is constant, isotropic and unitary, that is \(\underline{\underline\kappa}=\underline{\underline{I_d}}\).

Let us define the source term \(f=\nabla\cdot\underline u=-\Delta p\) to get the analytic solution \(p(x,y)=sin(2\pi x)cos(2\pi y)\). It yields \(f(x,y)=8\pi^2sin(2\pi x)cos(2\pi y)\).

This example runs within the Mixed Poisson toolbox with prescribed parameters.

1.3. Boundary conditions

We impose a Dirichlet boundary condition on the whole boundary : \(p=sin(2\pi x)cos(2\pi y)\text{ on }\Gamma\).

The following output example is reproducible using feelpp_toolbox_mixed-poisson-model_2DP2 running on 12 cores with the previous .json and .cfg files on a mesh of typical size \(h=0.05\).

The screenshots are in order : the pressure field, the velocity magnitude field and the velocity field.

1.7. Example : Darcy flow, shower

The input parameters, model and toolbox are the same as in the previous example.

1.8. Boundary conditions

We impose a Dirichlet boundary condition on the whole boundary : \(p=sin(y)sin(x)+xy^2-\frac16-\sin(1)(1-\cos(1))\text{ on }\Gamma\).
