A new computational method is developed for numerical solution of the Richards equation for flow in variably saturated porous media. The new method, referred to as the mixed transform finite element method, employs the mixed formulation of the Richards equation but expressed in terms of a partitione

The aim of this contribution is the development of a finite element formulation tailored to capture strong discontinuities in fluid-saturated porous media. Thereby, strong discontinuities are considered as the final failure mechanism within localization problems. The failure kinematics are governed
Various discretization methods exist for the numerical simulation of multiphase flow in porous media. In this paper, two methods are introduced and analyzed -a full-upwind Galerkin method which belongs to the classical finite element methods, and a mixed-hybrid finite element method based on an impl
## Abstract A new discrete‐fracture multiphase flow model developed allows incorporation of fractures in a spatially explicit fashion. It is an alternative to conventional dual‐porosity, dual‐permeability models used most often to model fractured subsurface systems. The model was applied to a water
## Abstract In this contribution an algorithm for parameter identification of geometrically linear Terzaghi–Biot‐type fluid‐saturated porous media is proposed, in which non‐uniform distributions of the state variables such as stresses, strains and fluid pore pressure are taken into account. To this
