Abstract

In this paper, the block-centered finite difference method is introduced and analyzed to solve the compressible wormhole propagation. The coupled analysis approach to deal with the fully coupling relation of multivariables is employed. By this, stability analysis and error estimates for the pressure, velocity, porosity, concentration and its flux in different discrete norms are established rigorously and carefully on non-uniform grids. Finally, some numerical experiments are presented to verify the theoretical analysis and effectiveness of the given scheme.
