Abstract

This paper studies solutions of the generalized Buckley-Leverett (BL) equation with variable porosity and solutions of the regularized BL equation with the Burgers-Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-type regularization. We construct global in time weak solutions to the Cauchy problem and to the initial- and boundary-value problem for the generalized BL equation and global classical solutions for the regularized BL equation. Solutions of the regularized BL equation are shown to converge to the corresponding solution of the generalized BL equation when the coefficient γ of the BBM term and the coefficient ν of the Burgers term obey γ = O(ν2).
