Liquid Flow in Partially Saturated Porous Media

We consider a picture for the filtration of a liquid in a partiallysaturated porous medium, leading to a two-phase one-dimensionalfree boundary problem of the following type: The liquid pressuresatisfies an elliptic equation in the saturated region and anon-linear parabolic equation in the unsaturated region, whilepressure and velocity are continuous across the interface. This scheme reduces to the study of the non-linear parabolicfree boundary problem in the unsaturated phase with cauchy dataprescribed on the free boundary, for such a problem existence,uniqueness and continuous dependence theorems are proved.

饱和多孔介质的超粘弹性本构理论研究

为了建立能考虑固体材料、多孔固体与流体可逆和不可逆变形的饱和多孔介质超粘弹性理论,以多孔固相为参考构型,以有效应力、材料真实应力和流相真实孔压作为状态变量,结合混合物均匀化响应原理获得各项均符合热力学功共轭特征的饱和多孔介质能量平衡方程,根据非平衡热力学熵分解理论求得熵流和熵产.结果表明,超弹塑性理论是该理论的一个特例;多孔固体的总变形可分为固相间隙和材料变形两部分,间隙应变与Terzaghi有效应力构成功共轭对,材料应变与材料真实应力构成功共轭对.饱和多孔介质的自由能可分为固相和流相两部分.当固相间隙和材料变形解耦时,固相所含的自由能又可分为间隙和材料两部分.证明了Skempton有效应力不是饱和多孔介质的基本应力状态变量.     

Propagation of Sound Waves in Partially Saturated Soils

We investigate the propagation of sound waves by means of a newly constructed model in a sandstone filled with two immiscible fluids. The speeds and attenuations of the four emerging waves (one transversal, three longitudinal) are illustrated in dependence on frequency and initial saturation. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Coupled Problems of Dynamics in Materially Incompressible Saturated Porous Media

The mechanical behavior of saturated porous materials is largely governed by the interaction between the solid skeleton and the pore fluid. This interaction is particularly strong in dynamic problems and leads to numerical challenges especially in the case of incompressible constituents. In fact, the permeability plays a significant role in this coupling and influences the choice of a proper time integration scheme. Proceeding from the macroscopic Theory of Porous Media (TPM) within the isothermal and geometrical linear regime, the governing balance equations of the dynamic binary solid–fluid model are the solid and fluid momentum balances, and the overall volume balance of the biphasic mixture. This set of coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) is solved within the framework of the mixed Finite Element Method (FEM) applying two different time solution methods, viz., a monolithic implicit and a splitted implicit–explicit scheme. The time stepping algorithms are implemented into the FE program PANDAS and a Scilab FE routine and compared on a one–dimensional wave propagation example. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

On the Description of Growth in Saturated Living Tissues

A comprehensive model for biological tissues must include the anisotropic tissue structure, the interstitial liquid wich saturated the tissue and the growth mechanism of the tissue. In the present contribution this is done by use of a three phasic model with a solid, liquid and nutrient phase in the framework of the porous media theory (TPM). In order to characterize the transversal isotropic skeleton behavior, an invariant formulation of the Helmholtz free energy function and the permeability tensor is suggested. The growth mechanism is characterizes by a mass transfer between the nutrient and solid phase. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

A Porous Media Model for the Description of Adaptive Bone Remodelling

Bones are strong and lightweight structures, which mainly consist of extracellular bone matrix. The bone remodelling is a process of resorption followed by replacement of the bone matrix with small changes in shape, which allow the bones to adapt according to the local loading situation. In the context of the Theory of Porous Media (TPM), a consistent model of bone tissue is introduced, which is able to describe the local accretion and reduction of the extracellular bone matrix. To this end, the bone is treated as an aggregate of two immiscible constituents. In this biphasic macroscopic model, the aggregate consists of the extracellular bone matrix and cells summarised to a solid phase and an interstitial fluid phase comprising nutrients, metabolites and bone precursors. The addition and removal of bone matrix is described by a mass exchange between the constituents, which depends upon the local strain of the material. Additionally, the growth energy is introduced as a non-mechanical quantity, which measures the average amount of chemical energy available for cell metabolism [1, 2], and thus, controls the growth process. The presented numerical example illustrates the fundamental effects of bone remodelling under varying boundary conditions. (© 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Wave Attenuation in Effective Models Describing Porous and Fractured Media Saturated by a Fluid

Wave attenuation is introduced in the effective model of media that consists of alternating elastic and fluid layers. This attenuation is due to the friction on the boundaries between elastic and fluid layers and is described by additional terms in equations of the effective model. An investigation of these equations allows one to derive expressions of the attenuation coefficients for every body wave propagating along the layers.

On a Coordinate-Independent Description of String Worldsheet Theory

We rewrite the bosonic worldsheet theory in curved background in a language where it describes a single particle moving in an infinite-dimensional curved spacetime. This language is developed at a formal level without regularizing the infinite-dimensional traces. Then, we adopt DeWitt’s (Phys Rev 85:653, 1952) coordinate-independent formulation of quantum mechanics in the present context. This procedure enables us to define coordinate invariant quantum analogue of classical Virasoro generators, which we call DeWitt–Virasoro generators. This framework also enables us to calculate the invariant matrix elements of an arbitrary operator constructed out of the DeWitt–Virasoro generators between two arbitrary scalar states. Using these tools, we further calculate the DeWitt–Virasoro algebra in spin-zero representation. The result is given by the Witt algebra with additional anomalous terms that vanish for Ricci-flat backgrounds. Further analysis need to be performed to precisely relate this with the beta function computation of Friedan and others. Finally, we explain how this analysis improves the understanding of showing conformal invariance for certain pp-wave that has been recently discussed using hamiltonian framework.

Modeling of Extrinsic and Autonomous Self-Healing phenomena within the Framework of the Theory of Porous Media

In this work a multiphase model is presented to describe the damage and healing behavior of a self-healing microstructure. In this academic example a single microcapsule is enclosed in a polymeric matrix. Attention is payed to the outflow of the liquid healing agents from the capsule into the damaged area and the subsequent phase transition from liquid to solid. (© 2016 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
