Abstract

We consider conservation laws with spatially discontinuous flux that are perturbed by diffusion and dispersion terms. These equations arise in a theory of two-phase flow in porous media that includes rate-dependent (dynamic) capillary pressure and spatial heterogeneities. We investigate the singular limit as the diffusion and dispersion parameters tend to zero, showing strong convergence towards a weak solution of the limit conservation law.
