An Efficient Iterative Decoupling Method for Thermo-Poroelasticity Based on a Four-Field Formulation
Abstract
This paper studies the thermo-poroelasticity model. By introducing an intermediate variable, we transform the original three-field model into a four-field model. Building upon this four-field model, we present both a coupled finite element method and a decoupled iterative finite element method. We prove the stability and optimal convergence of the coupled finite element method. Furthermore, we establish the convergence of the decoupled iterative method. This paper focuses primarily on analyzing the iterative decoupled algorithm. It demonstrates that the algorithm's convergence does not require any additional assumptions about physical parameters or stabilization parameters. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and theoretical validity of these new methods.
