Compressing a porous material will decrease the volume of the pore space, driving fluid out. Similarly, injecting fluid into a porous material can expand the pore space, distorting the solid skeleton. This poromechanical coupling has…

We propose the generalisation of the anisotropic poroelasticity theory. At a large scale, a medium is viewed as quasi-static, which is the original assumption of Biot. At a smaller scale, we distinguish different porosity clusters (sets of…

Excess pore pressure in granular--fluid mixtures can transiently suppress frictional contacts and dramatically enhance flow mobility, yet its evolution is commonly modeled using constant effective diffusivities. Here we show that the…
