Abstract

Biot’s equations of poroelasticity are numerically solved by an Element-based Finite Volume Method (EbFVM). A stabilization technique is advanced to avoid spurious pressure modes in the vicinity of undrained conditions. Classical benchmark problems and more realistic 3D test cases are addressed. The results show that the proposed stabilization is able to eliminate the pressure instabilities preserving the solution accuracy.
