Popis: We present in this work a posteriori error estimates for a reduced model problem of flow in fractured porous media approximated by the Raviart–Thomas mixed finite element of lowest order. The fracture assumed to be sufficiently thin to be approximated by a one-dimensional interface, leading to a coupled 2D/1D problem. The a posteriori error estimates developed here are based on the technique of postprocessing and lead to an upper bound of the error by some indicators with 1 as a multiplicative constant. In the context of our approximation, since the velocity is well approximated, we will consider only a reconstruction of the pressure. Numerical results show that all indicators converge to zero when the mesh size goes to zero, and are useful for mesh adaptation.
