Abstract

AbstractA moving‐grid finite element model for the analysis of thermal ablation, fluid flow and deformation in elastic porous media is presented. The model is formulated in terms of temperatures, fluid pressures and solid displacements, and takes into account a moving phase boundary. Supporting algorithms for treating the moving phase boundary and solving the coupled equations are described. The model has application to several important moving‐boundary geotechnical problems. Numerical test cases are provided for model verification and example applications corresponding to thermal ablation, consolidation and underground coal gasification are given.
