    Notes: Abstract Operator representations of stochastic subsurface flow equations allow writing their solutions implicitly or explicitly in terms of integro-differential expressions. Most of these representations involve Neumann series that must be truncated or otherwise approximated to become operational. It is often claimed that truncated Neumann series allow solving groundwater flow problems in the presence of arbitrarily large heterogeneities. Such claims have so far not been backed by convincing computational examples, and we present an analysis which suggests that they may not be justified on theoretical grounds. We describe an alternative operator representation due to Neuman and Orr (1993) which avoids the use of Neumann series yet accomplishes a similar purpose. It leads to a compact integro-differential form which provides considerable new insight into the nature of the solution. When written in terms of conditional moments, our new representation contains local and nonlocal effective parameters that depend on scale and information. As such, these parameters are not unique material properties but may change as more is learned about the flow system.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Das Darcysche Gesetz für anisotrope poröse Werkstoffe wird von den Navier-Stokes-Gleichungen durch formale Mittelwertbildung abgeleitet. Insbesondere betont wird der Beweis der Symmetrie des Permeabilitätstensors. Weiter wird gezeigt, daß eine eineindeutige Beziehung zwischen lokalen und makroskopischen Geschwindigkeitsfeldern existiert. Dies führt zur interessanten phänomenologischen Beobachtung, daß in jedem Punkt der lokale Geschwindigkeitsvektor entweder auf einer festen Geraden oder in einer festen Ebene liegt. All dies gilt für inkompressible homogene Newtonsche Flüssigkeiten, die sich langsam, stationär unter isothermen Bedingungen durch einen starren porösen Körper gleichförmiger Porösität bewegen. Die Frage, ob das Darcysche Gesetz für instationäre Strömungen oder kompressible Fälle oder für ungleichförmige Porösität gilt, wird ebenfalls diskutiert. Abschließend wird gezeigt, daß die Hagen-Poiseuille-Gleichung und der Ausdruck für die Couette-Strömung zwischen parallelen Platten von der in dieser Arbeit angegebenen Gleichung abgeleitet und daher als Spezialfälle des Darcyschen Gesetzes betrachtet werden können.
    Notes: Summary Darcy's law for anisotropic porous media is derived from the Navier-Stokes equation by using a formal averaging procedure. Particular emphasis is placed upon the proof that the permeability tensor is symmetric. In addition, it is shown that there is a one-to-one relationship between the local and macroscopic velocity fields. This leads to the interesting phenomenological observation that the local velocity vector at any given point must always lie either on a fixed line or in a fixed plane. All of this holds true for an incompressible homogeneous Newtonian fluid moving slowly through a rigid porous medium with uniform porosity under isothermal and steady state conditions. The question whether Darcy's law is applicable under nonsteady or compressible flow conditions, or when the medium has nonuniform porosity, is also discussed. Finally, it is shown that the Hagen-Poiseuille equation, as well as the expression describing Couette flow between parallel plates, can be derived from the equations presented in this work and may thus be viewed as special cases of Darcy's law.

    Notes: In Part I1 of this paper we have established local stability and convergence criteria for the mixed explicit-implicit finite element scheme and have shown that the proposed iterative method converges under certain conditions. Part II describes various practical aspects of the solution strategy such as convergence criteria for terminating the iterations, automatic control of time step size, reclassification of nodes from explicit to implicit during execution, estimation of time derivatives, and automatic adjustment of the implicit weight factor. Several examples are included to demonstrate certain aspects of the theory and illustrate the capabilities of the new approach.

    Notes: A Galerkin finite element formulation of diffusion processes based on a diagonal capacity matrix is analysed from the standpoint of local stability and convergence. The theoretical analysis assumes that the conductance matrix is locally diagonally dominant, and it is shown that one can always construct a finite element network of linear triangles satisfying this condition. Time derivatives are replaced by finite differences, leading to a mixed explicit-implicit system of algebraic equations which can be efficiently solved by a point iterative technique. In this work the accelerated point iterative method is adopted and is shown to converge when the conductance matrix is locally diagonally dominant. Several examples are included in Part II of this paper to demonstrate the efficiency of the new approach.
