Abstract
A numerical method is outlined for determining the movement of a gasβliquid interface in a porous medium following the withdrawal of gas from an underground reservoir. The governing equations for the flow of both gas and the underlying liquid are formulated in terms of the finite element process using the Galerkin approach. The method consists of an iterative technique in which solution of the basic equations is dependent on the location of the interface. Cubic isoparametric elements are employed to allow accurate modelling of the curved boundary and to provide a relatively large number of interface points for a small number of elements. Extensions of the method are indicated in the text.

## Abstract A numerical study has been undertaken to examine the behaviour of a gas liquid interface in a vertical cylindrical vessel subjected to a sinusoidal vertical motion. The computational method used is based on the simplified markerβandβcell method and includes a continuum surface model for

Many practical built-up structures, e.g., the modern car body, are essentially assemblies of numerous thin plates joined at many edges. The plates are often so thin that they cannot support appreciable loads out of plane. In the case of a car, the body can only support the static loads of either the
