Abstract
We present and study a stabilized mixed finite elementmethod for single-phase compressible flow through porous media. Thismethod is based on a pressure projection stabilization method for multiple-dimensional incompressible flow problems by using the lowest equal-orderpair for velocity and pressure (i.e., the pair). An optimal error estimate in divergence norm for the velocity and suboptimal error estimatesin the -norm for both velocity and pressure are obtained. Numericalresults are given in support of the developed theory.
