Solution of degenerate parabolic variational inequalities withconvection
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 April 2004
Abstract
Degenerate parabolic variational inequalities with convection are solved by means of a combined relaxation method and method of characteristics. The mathematical problem is motivated by Richard's equation, modelling the unsaturated – saturated flow in porous media. By means of the relaxation method we control the degeneracy. The dominance of the convection is controlled by the method of characteristics.
