✦ Synopsis

We develop numerical methods for the simulation of heat and mass transfer in the ground. We use the mixed finite element method for the computation of both the liquid pressure and the temperature, so that the mass is locally and globally well conserved and the computation of the fluid velocity is very accurate. This is quite important since this fluid velocity appears in the first-order term of the equation for the temperature; in turn the partially hyperbolic character of the equation for the temperature is well taken into account since we use the modified method of characteristics for its discretization.
