A priori error estimates for Galerkin methods for numeric approximation of a coupled quasilinear system and appropriate Neumann boundary and initial conditions are considered. Equations of this type arise in models for the miscible displacement of one incompressible fluid by another in a porous medium. Estimates for both continuous time and fully discrete time Galerkin methods are presented.
