Abstract:  We demonstrate some a priori estimates of a scheme using stabilization and hybrid interfaces applying to partial differential equations describing miscible displacement in porous media. This system is made of two coupled equations: an anisotropic diffusion equation on the pressure and a convection-diffusion-dispersion equation on the concentration of invading fluid. The anisotropic diffusion operators in both equations require special care while discretizing by a finite volume method SUSHI. Later, we present some numerical experiments.
