چکیده
Abstract. We present a fully implicit, monolithic finite element solution scheme to efficiently solve the governing set of differential algebraic equations of incompressible poroelastodynamics. Thereby, we proceed from a two-dimensional, biphasic, saturated porous medium model with intrinsically coupled and incompressible solid and fluid constituents. Our approach, motivated by well-accepted CFD techniques and originally developed for the efficient simulation of incompressible flow problems, is characterized by the following aspects: (1) a special treatment of the algebraically coupled volume balance equation leading to a reduced form of the boundary conditions; (2) usage of a higher-order accurate mixed LBB-stable finite element pair with piecewise discontinuous pressure for the spatial discretization; (3) application of the fully implicit 2nd-order Crank-Nicolson scheme for the time discretization; (4) use of a special fast multigrid solver for the resulting discrete linear equation system. For the purpose of validation and to expose the merits and benefits of our new solution strategy in comparison to other established approaches, canonical oneand two-dimensional wave propagation problems are solved. Finally, a large-scale, dynamic soil-structure interaction problem serves to reveal the efficiency of the special multigrid solver in combination with the chosen finite element discretization.

متن کاملA two-scale operator splitting for flow problems in porous media
Operator splitting time discretization techniques are getting more and more popular for the numerical simulation of non-linear problems in porous media. The main idea is to split complex operators in evolution equations into simpler ones which are successively solved in each time step. For porous media flow a natural splitting is given by the diffusive and the advective part of the flux. Then f...

A Discrete Singular Convolution Method for the Seepage Analysis in Porous Media with Irregular Geometry
A novel discrete singular convolution (DSC) formulation is presented for the seepage analysis in irregular geometric porous media. The DSC is a new promising numerical approach which has been recently applied to solve several engineering problems. For a medium with regular geometry, realizing of the DSC for the seepage analysis is straight forward. But DSC implementation for a medium with ir...
