The nonFickian flow of fluid in porous media is complicated by the history effect which characterizes various mixing length growth of the flow, which can be modeled by an integro-differential equation. This paper proposes two mixed finite element methods which are employed to discretize the parabolic integro-differential equation model. An optimal order error estimate is established for one of the discretization schemes.
