Abstract
SummaryA number of methods have been developed for solving the dynamics of saturated porous media. However, most solutions are based on the finite element method, and only a few employ finite differences (FDM). One problem with the FDM is the difficulty in fulfilling the inf‐sup (Ladyženskaja‐Babuška‐Brezzi) condition. This paper explores solutions with the FDM, including the development of new schemes aiming at stabilised formulations. The efficiency, accuracy and stability of several FDM and finite element method algorithms are thoroughly investigated as well. A combination of primary variables from the theory of porous media is considered, including the so‐called up and uvp formulations. Six numerical schemes are produced and quantitatively studied. Simulations of 1D and 2D wave propagation problems are performed in order to reveal the advantages and drawbacks of all schemes. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
