A Posteriori Error Estimates for Darcy–Forchheimer's Problem.

This work deals with the a posteriori error estimates for the Darcy–Forchheimer problem. We first introduce the corresponding variational formulation for the nonlinear problem and discretize it by using the finite-element method. We then propose a linear iterative scheme to solve the nonlinear variational problem for a fixed mesh step. Finally, a posteriori error estimate with two types of computable error indicators is showed. The first one is linked to the linearization and the second one to the discretization. Numerical computations are performed to show the effectiveness of the derived error indicators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
