A posteriori error estimates for locally mass conservative methods for subsurface flow expressed by an elliptic partial differential equations are presented. These methods are referred to as discontinuous Galerkin methods since they are based on discontinuous approximation spaces. When penalty terms are added to the bilinear form, one obtains the nonsymmetric interior penalty Galerkin methods. Formerly, the authors proved optimal rates of convergence of the methods applied to elliptic problems. In the present paper, \(h\) adaptivity is investigated for 2D flow problems. Global explicit estimators of the \(L_2\) error are derived, and an implicit indicator of the error in the energy norm are numerically investigated. Furthermore, model problems with discontinuous coefficients are considered.
