Abstract
The purpose of the benchmarks in this chapter is to test the validity of coupled hydro-mechanical (HM) and two-phase hydro-mechanical (H2M) processes. Mechanical compression generates a fluid pressure response, while pressure storage and dissipation modify the mechanical condition via the effective stress. The tests we use are convenient and fundamental validations of the deformation and flow modules, most importantly guaranteeing that the coupling is correct between them.
