We present a mixed finite element formulation for the spatial discretization in dynamic analysis of non-isothermal variably saturated porous media using different order of approximating functions for solid displacements and fluid pressures/temperature. It is known in fact that there are limitations on the approximating functions N-u and N-p for displacements and pressures if the BabuskaBrezzi convergence conditions or their equivalent [5] are to be satisfied. Although this formulation complicates the numerical implementation compared to equal order interpolation, it provides competitive advantages e.g. in speed of computation, accuracy and convergence.

Abstract

We present a mixed finite element formulation for the spatial discretization in dynamic analysis of non-isothermal variably saturated porous media using different order of approximating functions for solid displacements and fluid pressures/temperature. It is known in fact that there are limitations on the approximating functions N-u and N-p for displacements and pressures if the BabuskaBrezzi convergence conditions or their equivalent [5] are to be satisfied. Although this formulation complicates the numerical implementation compared to equal order interpolation, it provides competitive advantages e.g. in speed of computation, accuracy and convergence.
