Adaptive Double-Diffusion Model and Comparison to a Highly Heterogeneous Micro-Model

Double-diffusion model is used to simulate slightly compressible fluid flow in periodic porous media as a macro-model in place of the original highly heterogeneous micro-model. In this paper, we formulate an adaptive two-grid numerical finite element discretization of the double-diffusion system and...
