Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Time discretization along with space discretization is important in the numerical simulation of subsurface flow applications for long run. In this paper, we derive theoretical convergence error estimates in discrete-time setting for transient problems with the Dirichlet boundary condition. Enhanced Velocity Mixed FEM as domain decomposition method is used in the space discretization and the backward Euler method and the Crank–Nicolson method are considered in the discrete-time setting. Enhanced Velocity scheme was used in the adaptive mesh refinement dealing with heterogeneous porous media [1], [2] for single phase flow and transport and demonstrated as mass conservative and efficient method. Numerical tests validating the backward Euler theory are presented. These error estimates are useful in the determining of time step size and the space discretization size.
