This video illustrates the adaptive algorithm of a pseudostress-based mixed finite element method for the two-dimensional nonlinear Brinkman model of porous media flow with mixed boundary conditions. The main unknowns are a tensor field σ (pseudostress), a vector field u (velocity), and a scalar field p (pressure) in appropriate spaces. The example above considers a T-shaped domain with singularities around the corners (-0.25,0.5) and (0.25, 0.5), and along the line x2 = -1. Further details are available in the paper:
