Finite element modelling of two phase heat and fluid flow in deforming porous media

This paper details a finite element model which describes the flow of two-phase fluid and heat within a deforming porous medium. The coupled governing equations are derived in terms of displacements, pore pressures and temperatures, and details of the time-stepping algorithm and thermodynamic considerations are also presented. Two numerical examples are included for verification. \ua9 1989 Kluwer Academic Publishers
