摘要
Numerical simulation of two-phase (oil and water) miscible flow in porousmedia is the mathematical foundation in energy problems. For a two-dimensional posi-tive problem, Douglas put forward the well-known characteristic finite difference method.However, for numerical analysis there exist difficulties. They assumed that the problem isperiodic and the diffusion matrix of the concentration equation was positive definite. Butin many practical situations the diffusion matrixes are only positive semidefinite. In thispaper, we put forward a kind of characteristic finite difference schemes and obtain optimalorder estimates in l2 norm for the error in the approximation assumptions.
