Abstract

In this paper, we shall present two fully-discrete local discontinuous Galerkin methods, coupled with multi-step implicit–explicit time discretization up to second order, for solving the two-dimensional incompressible miscible displacement problem. To avoid the solving of nonlinear algebraic systems, the extrapolation linearization is adopted to diffusion–dispersion tensor. Under weak temporal-spatial conditions, the optimal error estimates in \(L^{\infty }(L^{2})\) norm for both concentration and velocity are derived. Numerical experiments are also given to demonstrate the theoretical results.
