Abstract: We develop a robust cut finite element method for a model of diffusion in fractured media consisting of a bulk domain with embedded cracks. The crack has its own pressure field and can cut through the bulk mesh in a very general fashion. Starting from a common background bulk mesh, that covers the domain, finite element spaces are constructed for the interface and bulk subdomains leading to efficient computations of the coupling terms. The crack pressure field also uses the bulk mesh for its representation. The interface conditions are a generalized form of conditions of Robin type previously considered in the literature which allows the modeling of a range of flow regimes across the fracture. The method is robust in the following way: 1. Stability of the formulation in the full range of parameter choices; and 2. Not sensitive to the location of the interface in the background mesh. We derive an optimal order a priori error estimate and present illustrating numerical examples.
The authors propose a cut finite element method for solving a model of diffusion in fractured media consisting of a bulk domain with embedded cracks. In the bulk domain, the diffusion equation is satisfied while on the crack a surface diffusion equation is posed, the coupling of different variables is made by a Robin-type interface condition. The authors use the cut finite element method with a background bulk mesh that does not necessarily fit the crack. The proposed method is shown to be robust in the following way. First, the formulation is stable for a full range of parameter choices. Second, the scheme is not sensitive to the location of the interface in the background mesh. An optimal order a priori error estimate is derived and confirmed by numerical examples.
