We study the asymptotic behavior, with respect to high Peclet numbers, of the solutions of the nonlinear elliptic-parabolic system governing the displacement of one incompressible fluid by another, completely miscible with the first, in a porous medium. Using compensated compactness techniques, we obtain the existence of a global weak solution to the nonlinear degenerate elliptic-parabolic system modelling the flow when the molecular diffusion effects are neglected.
