Non-classical shocks for Buckley-Leverett : degenerate pseudo-parabolic regularisation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

We consider oil-water flow in porous media, with a dynamic capillary pressure relation. This leads to a pseudo-parabolic degenerate regularisation of the Buckley-Leverett (BL) equation. It is known that linear pseudo-parabolic regularisations of BL lead to shock solutions that do not satisfy the Oleinik condition. In this note we analyse the existence of travelling wave solutions that violate the Oleinik condotion, taking special care of the degeneracy of the problem
