Abstract
A finite volume discretization of the mixed form of Richards’ equation leads to a nonlinear numerical model which yields exact local and global mass conservation. The resulting nonlinear system requires sophisticated numerical strategies, especially in a variable saturated flow regime. In this paper a nested, Newton-type algorithm for the discretized Richards’ equation is proposed and analyzed. With a judicious choice of the initial guess, the quadratic convergence rate is obtained for any time step size and for all flow regimes.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
