4.8.2.3 Holmes-Mow
The material type for Holmes-Mow permeability is “perm-Holmes-Mow”. The following material parameters need to be defined:
<perm> | isotropic hydraulic permeability in the reference state | [L /F t] |
<M> | exponential strain-dependence coefficient ( ) | [ ] |
<alpha> | power-law exponent ( ) | [ ] |
This isotropic material is similar to the constant isotropic permeability material described above, except that it uses a strain-dependent permeability tensor [32]: where, and is the Jacobian of the deformation, i.e. where is the deformation gradient.
Example:
This example defines a permeability material of the Holmes-Mow type.
<permeability type="perm-Holmes-Mow"> <perm>0.001</perm> <M>1.5</M> <alpha>2</alpha> </permeability>
