An initial-boundary value problem describing moisture transport in porous media: existence of strong solutions and an error estimate for a finite volume scheme

Abstract

We consider an initial-boundary value problem motivated by a mathematical model of moisture transport in porous media. We establish the existence of strong solutions and provide an error estimate for the approximate solutions constructed by the finite volume method. In the proof of the error estimate, the Gagliardo--Nirenberg type inequality for the difference between a continuous function and a piecewise constant function plays an important role.
