Coupled Hydromechanical Model of Two-Phase Fluid Flow in Deformable Porous Media

A model of solid-water-air coupling in triphasic mixtures is compared with solid-water coupling in biphasic mixtures with an application to partially saturated porous media. Based on thermodynamics, the mathematical framework governing the behavior of a partially saturated soil is derived using bala...
