Uniqueness of solution of a heterogeneous evolution dam problem associated with a compressible fluid flow through a rectangular porous medium

Abstract

This paper is concerned with an uniqueness of solution of the weak formulation of an evolution dam problem related to a compressible fluid flow through a two-dimensional, rectangular and heterogeneous porous medium. Note that our problem associated with the equation a(x_1)(u_{x_2}+\chi)_{x_2}-(u+\chi)_t=0. Our technique is based on the idea that we transform the weak form of this equation into a similar situation to the proof of the uniqueness in the incompressible case (see [12]). It is also difficult to adapt the proof obtained in [12] by using some properties of the solutions as in [12, Sect. 2].
