Abstract
In this paper we consider implementation algorithms and applications of the discretization method for diffusion equations on polygonal (2D) and polyhedral (3D) meshes recently proposed by one of the authors in [11]. The discretization method is based on the approximation of fluxes in the mixed finite element method by appropriate piecewise constant vector functions inside the mesh cells. The new piecewise constant fluxes are discontinuous inside the mesh cells but their normal components are continuous on the interfaces between neighbouring cells. Numerical results are given for test problems relevant to applications in reservoir simulation and basin modelling.
