This work presents a mixed three-dimensional finite element formulation for analyzing compressible viscous flows. The formulation is based on the primitive variables velocity, density, temperature and pressure. The goal of this work is to present a 'stable' numerical formulation, and, thus, the inte

Abstract
We propose a mixed formulation for quasiβNewtonian fluid flow obeying the power law where the stress tensor is introduced as a new variable. Based on such a formulation, a mixed finite element is constructed and analyzed. This finite element method possesses local (i.e., at element level) conservation properties (conservation of the momentum and the mass) as in the finite volume methods. We give existence and uniqueness results for the continuous problem and its approximation and we prove error bounds. Β© 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2004.

We consider a generic flow-transport system of partial differential equations, which has wide application in the waste disposal industry. The approximation of this system, using a finite element method for the brine, radionuclides, and heat combined with a mixed finite element method for the pressur
