4.8.2.4 Referentially Isotropic Permeability

The material type for a biphasic material with strain-dependent permeability which is isotropic in the reference configuration is “perm-ref-iso”. The following material parameters need to be defined:
<perm0> hydraulic permeability [L /F t]
<perm1> hydraulic permeability [L /F t]
<perm2> hydraulic permeability [L /F t]
<M> exponential strain-dependence coefficient ( [ ]
<alpha> power-law exponent ( ) [ ]
This material uses a strain-dependent permeability tensor that accommodates strain-induced anisotropy: where is the Jacobian of the deformation, i.e. where is the deformation gradient, and is the left Cauchy-Green tensor. Note that the permeability in the reference state ( is isotropic and given by .
Example:
<permeability name="Permeability" type="perm-ref-iso">
  <perm0>0.001</perm0>
  <perm1>0.005</perm1>
  <perm2>0.002</perm2>
  <M>1.5</M>
  <alpha>2</alpha>
</permeability>
