On non-uniqueness of pressures in problems of fluid filtration in fractured-porous media. (English) Zbl 1531.65108

Summary: The paper proposes a new approach to the numerical solution of the singular Neumann problem for a system of elliptic equations, in which, for example, the problem of filtration of a two-phase incompressible fluid in a fractured-porous medium is reduced within the framework of the dual porosity model. The one-dimensionality of the kernel of the corresponding operator is established, after which an extended generalized mixed formulation is considered in which the singularity is eliminated by introducing some additional bilinear form. The extended formulation is approximated by the mixed finite element method, and the properties of the resulting system of linear algebraic equations with a saddle point matrix are established. Moreover, some numerical examples illustrate the theoretical results.
