A PDE system consisting of the momentum balance, mass balance, and energy balance equations for displacement, capillary pressure, and temperature as a model for unsaturated fluid flow in a porous viscoelastoplastic solid is shown to admit a solution under appropriate assumptions on the constitutive behavior. The problem involves two hysteresis operators accounting for plastic and capillary hysteresis.

In this work, we consider a mathematical model for flow in a unsaturated porous medium containing a fracture. In all subdomains (the fracture and the adjacent matrix blocks) the flow is governed by Richards equation. The submodels are coupled by phys
ical transmission conditions expressing the continuity of the normal fluxes and of the pressures. We start by analyzing the case of a fracture having a fixed width-length ratio, called $varepsilon > 0$. Then we take the limit $varepsilon to 0$ and give a rigorous proof for the convergence towards effective models. This is done in different regimes, depending on how the ratio of porosities and permeabilities in the fracture, respectively matrix scale with respect to $varepsilon$, and leads to a variety of effective models. Numerical simulations confirm the theoretical upscaling results.
We study several iterative methods for fully coupled flow and reactive transport in porous media. The resulting mathematical model is a coupled, nonlinear evolution system. The flow model component builds on the Richards equation, modified to incorpo
rate nonstandard effects like dynamic capillarity and hysteresis, and a reactive transport equation for the solute. The two model components are strongly coupled. On one hand, the flow affects the concentration of the solute; on the other hand, the surface tension is a function of the solute, which impacts the capillary pressure and, consequently, the flow. After applying an Euler implicit scheme, we consider a set of iterative linearization schemes to solve the resulting nonlinear equations, including both monolithic and two splitting strategies. The latter include a canonical nonlinear splitting and an alternate linearized splitting, which appears to be overall faster in terms of numbers of iterations, based on our numerical studies. The (time discrete) system being nonlinear, we investigate different linearization methods. We consider the linearly convergent L-scheme, which converges unconditionally, and the Newton method, converging quadratically but subject to restrictions on the initial guess. Whenever hysteresis effects are included, the Newton method fails to converge. The L-scheme converges; nevertheless, it may require many iterations. This aspect is improved by using the Anderson acceleration. A thorough comparison of the different solving strategies is presented in five numerical examples, implemented in MRST, a toolbox based on MATLAB.

We investigate the elastoviscoplastic flow through porous media by numerical simulations. We solve the Navier-Stokes equations combined with the elastoviscoplastic model proposed by Saramito for the stress tensor evolution. In this model, the materia
l behaves as a viscoelastic solid when unyielded, and as a viscoelastic Oldroyd-B fluid for stresses higher than the yield stress. The porous media is made of a symmetric array of cylinders, and we solve the flow in one periodic cell. We find that the solution is time-dependent even at low Reynolds numbers as we observe oscillations in time of the unyielded region especially at high Bingham numbers. The volume of the unyielded region slightly decreases with the Reynolds number and strongly increases with the Bingham number; up to 70% of the total volume is unyielded for the highest Bingham numbers considered here. The flow is mainly shear dominated in the yielded region, while shear and elongational flow are equally distributed in the unyielded region. We compute the relation between the pressure drop and the flow rate in the porous medium and present an empirical closure as function of the Bingham and Reynolds numbers. The apparent permeability, normalized with the case of Newtonian fluids, is shown to be greater than 1 at low Bingham numbers, corresponding to lower pressure drops due to the flow elasticity, and smaller than 1 for high Bingham numbers, indicating larger dissipation in the flow owing to the presence of the yielded regions. Finally we investigate the effect of the Weissenberg number on the distribution of the unyielded regions and on the pressure gradient.
