Abstract: A space-time domain decomposition approach is presented as a natural extension of the enhanced velocity mixed finite element (EVMFE) [Wheeler et. al] for spatial domain decomposition. The proposed approach allows for different space-time discretizations on non-overlapping, subdomains by enforcing a mass continuity argument at the non-matching interface to preserve the local mass conservation property inherent to the mixed finite element methods. To this effect, we consider three different model formulations: (1) a linear single phase flow problem, (2) a non-linear slightly compressible flow and tracer transport, and (3) a non-linear slightly compressible, multiphase flow and transport. We also present a numerical solution algorithm for the proposed domain decomposition approach where a monolithic (fully coupled in space and time) system is constructed that does not require subdomain iterations. This space-time EVMFE method accurately resolves advection-diffusion transport features, in a heterogeneous medium, while circumventing non-linear solver convergence issues associated with large time-step sizes for non-linear problems. Numerical results are presented for the aforementioned, three, model formulations to demonstrate the applicability of this approach to a general class of problems in flow and transport in porous media.
