Abstract: In this paper we study the initial boundary value problem for the system $Deltav=u_{x_1},u_t-mboxdivleft(left((a|mathbfq|+m)I+(b-a)fracmathbfqotimesmathbfq|mathbfq|ight)ablauight)=-ablaucdotmathbfq$, where $mathbfq=(-v_{x_2},v_{x_1}{)}^T$, $mathbfqotimesmathbfq=mathbfqmathbf{q}^T$. This problem has been proposed as a model for a fluid flowing through a porous medium under the influence of gravity and hydrodynamic dispersion. For each $T>0$ we obtain a so-called strong solution $(v,u)$ in the function space $L^{i}nfty(0,T;left(W^{1,infty}(Omega)ight{)}^2)$, where $Omega$ is a bounded domain in $mathbb{R}^2$. The key ingredient in our approach is the decomposition $A^2=mboxtr(A)A-mboxdet(A)I$ for any $2imes2$ symmetric matrix $A$. By exploring this decomposition, we are able to derive an equation of parabolic type for the function $left(left((a|mathbfq|+m)I+(b-a)fracmathbfqotimesmathbfq|mathbfq|ight)ablaucdotablauight{)}^j,jgeq1$. With the aid of this equation we obtain a uniform bound for $ablau$.
