IS014 - Efficient and Robust techniques for the Numerical simulation of poromechanics
Keywords: Computational approaches, Multiphysics, Numerical methods
n this section we are considering flow in deformable porous media, also called poromechanics. There are plenty relevant applications of poromechanics, e.g. CO2 storage, enhanced geothermal energy extraction or soil pollution, to name a few. The mathematical models behind are based on different variants of Biot’s model (quasi-static, nonlinear, dynamic, multiphase flow…), consisting on coupled partial, possible degenerate, differential equations which are very difficult to be solved. Here, we will focus on efficient solvers for poromechanics. This will include splitting schemes, discretization methods, parallel algorithms and algebraic solvers. Important aspects like convergence, optimization and stabilization of the schemes will be discussed.
