Abstract

We consider both cases: multiphase flow in deformable as well as non-deformable (static) porous media. In addition to flow of two fluid phases (compressible and incompressible fluids) we also apply the Richards approximation, which is valid for most cases of infiltration in soils. We assume isothermal conditions. For additional information the reader should refer e. g. to Bear & Bachmat (1990) and Lewis & Schrefler (1998).
