Effect of Biot’s coefficient and fluid properties on isothermal H-M coupled consolidation analysis of porous media

In this study, a hydraulic-mechanical (H-M) coupling model was implemented, which considers porous media as a deforming porous continuum where fluid flow is taken into account. The primary variables are the time-dependent pore pressure and displacement of the solid skeleton. Physical laws, including the linear momentum balance and mass conservation, are applied to describe the corresponding processes as mechanics and fluid flow occurring within...
