Abstract: We present a semi-Lagrangian finite element method for the numerical solution of time-dependent coupled Darcy-convection-diffusion problems. The proposed method allows the use of equal-order finite element approximations for all solutions in the problem. In addition, due to the Lagrangian treatment of convection terms in the considered problems, the standard Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy condition is relaxed, and the time truncation errors are reduced in the diffusion-reaction part. Analysis of stability and convergence is also investigated in this study and error estimates in the L2-norm are ...
