We consider three-dimensional convection of an incompressible fluid saturated in a parallelepiped with a porous medium. A mimetic finite-difference scheme for the Darcy convection problem in the primitive variables is developed. It consists of staggered nonuniform grids with five types of nodes, differencing and averaging operators on a two-nodes stencil. The nonlinear terms are approximated using special schemes. Two problems with different boundary conditions are considered to study scenarios of instability of the state of rest. Branching off of a continuous family of steady states was detected for the problem with zero heat fluxes on two opposite lateral planes.

Destruction of the family of steady states in the planar problem of Darcy convection Tsybulin, V. G.; Karasözen, Bülent (2008-08-25) We consider natural convection of an incompressible fluid in a porous medium described by the planar Darcy equation. For some boundary conditions, Darcy problem may have non-unique solutions in form of a continuous family of steady states. We are interested in the situation when these boundary conditions are violated. The resulting destruction of the family of steady states is studied via computer experiments based on a mimetic finite-difference approach. Convection in a rectangular enclosure is considered ...
Mimetic discretization of two-dimensional Darcy convection Karasözen, Bülent (2005-05-01) We consider discretization of the planar convection of the incompressible fluid in a porous medium filling rectangular enclosure. This problem belongs to the class of cosymmetric systems and admits an existence of a continuous family of steady states in the phase space. Mimetic finite-difference schemes for the primitive variables equation are developed. The connection of a derived staggered discretization with a finite-difference approach based on the stream function and temperature equations is establishe...
Staggered grids for three-dimensional convection of a multicomponent fluid in a porous medium Karasözen, Bülent; Tsybulin, Vyacheslav G. (2012-09-01) Convection in a porous medium may produce strong nonuniqueness of patterns. we study this phenomena for the case of a multicomponent fluid and develop a mimetic finite-difference scheme for the three-dimensional problem. Discretization of the Darcy equations in the primitive variables is based on staggered grids with five types of nodes and on a special approximation of nonlinear terms. This scheme is applied to the computer study of flows in a porous parallelepiped filled by a two-component fluid and with ...
Cosymmetry preserving finite-difference methods for convection equations in a porous medium Karasözen, Bülent (2005-09-01) The finite-difference discretizations for the planar problem of natural convection of incompressible fluid in a porous medium which preserve the cosymmetry property and discrete symmetries are presented. The equations in stream function and temperature are computed using staggered and non-staggered schemes in uniform and nonuniform rectangular grids. (c) 2004 IMACS. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Cosymmetric families of steady states in Darcy convection and their collision Karasözen, Bülent (2004-03-15) Natural planar convection of incompressible fluid in a porous medium, the Darcy model is studied. This problem belongs to the class of cosymmetric systems for whose an emergence of a continuous family of steady states (equilibria) is possible. We study the evolution of several families of steady states in the case of wide enclosure and analyze new effects of collision and reorganization of such families.
