3.13.7 Tied Biphasic Interfaces
A tied biphasic interface is similar to the tied interface. It may be used for tying any combination of solid, biphasic, and rigid materials. It enforces continuity of the fluid pressure across the interface when both materials are biphasic. The following control parameters need to be defined:
Parameter | Description | Default |
penalty | normal penalty scale factor (1) | 1.0 |
pressure_penalty | pressure penalty scale factor | 1.0 |
auto_penalty | auto-penalty calculation flag (2) | 0 |
update_penalty | update auto-penalty calculation flag (2) | 0 |
two_pass | two-pass flag (3) | 0 |
laugon | augmented Lagrangian flag (4) | 0 |
tolerance | aug. Lagrangian convergence tolerance (4) | 1.0 |
gaptol | tolerance for gap value (4) | 0.0 (off) |
symmetric_stiffness | symmetric stiffness matrix flag (7) | 0 |
search_tol | Projection search tolerance (8) | 0.01 |
search_radius | search radius (10) | 1.0 |
