Abstract

This work is devoted to the study of the convergence of an implicit difference scheme for a one-dimensional initial-boundary problem that simulates the process of filtration consolidation with a limiting gradient. From a mathematical point of view, this model is a system of partial differential equations for the displacements of an elastic medium and fluid pressure. In addition, the equation for pressure is degenerate, with nonlinearity in the spatial operator, which generates a non-smooth solution. In this regard, the study of the convergence was carried out under minimal conditions on the smoothness of the initial data. It was based on obtaining a number of a priori estimates that allow, using the monotonicity method, to establish the convergence of piecewise constant completions of the difference solution to a generalized solution of the problem. The spatial operator was approximated using the method of summation identities.

Keywords: filtration, filtration consolidation, difference schemes, difference scheme convergence
