Hydromechanical Modeling of Unsaturated Flow in Double Porosity Media
AbstractGeomaterials with aggregated structure or containing fissures often exhibit a bimodal pore size distribution that can be viewed as two coexisting pore regions of different scales. The double-porosity concept enables continuum modeling of such materials by considering two interacting pore scales satisfying relevant conservation laws. This paper develops a thermodynamically consistent framework for hydromechanical modeling of unsaturated flow in double-porosity media. With an explicit treatment of the two pore scales, conservation laws are formulated incorporating an effective stress tensor that is energy-conjugate to the rate of deformation tensor of the solid matrix. A constitutive framework is developed on the basis of energy-conjugate pairs identified in the first law of thermodynamics, which is then incorporated into a three-field mixed finite-element formulation for double-porosity media. Numerical simulations of laboratory- and field-scale problems are presented to demonstrate the impact of double porosity on the resulting hydromechanical responses.
