A combined finite volume-nonconforming/mixed-hybrid finite element scheme for degenerate parabolic problems (Q852082)

Efficient schemes combining conforming piecewise linear finite elements on triangular and finite volumes on dual volumes associated with the vertices have been studied earlier for fluid mechanics equations [e.g. \textit{C. Debiez, A. Dervieux}, \textit{K. Mer} and \textit{B. Nkonga} Int. J. Numer. Methods Fluids 27, 193--206 (1998; Zbl 0909.76071)]. The motivation of the present paper is to extend the foregoing ideas to degenerate parabolic problems. A robust and efficient numerical scheme for nonlinear degenerate parabolic convection-diffusion-reaction equations in two or three space dimension is presented here.
