A new computational method is developed for numerical solution of the Richards equation for flow in variably saturated porous media. The new method, referred to as the mixed transform finite element method, employs the mixed formulation of the Richards equation but expressed in terms of a partitione

Various discretization methods exist for the numerical simulation of multiphase flow in porous media. In this paper, two methods are introduced and analyzed -a full-upwind Galerkin method which belongs to the classical finite element methods, and a mixed-hybrid finite element method based on an impl
## Abstract Mold filling in anisotropic porous media is the governing phenomena in a number of composite manufacturing processes, such as resin transfer molding (RTM) and structural reaction injection molding (SRIM). In this paper we present a numerical simulation to predict the flow of a viscous f
