1.1. Presentation#

In this test case, we study the hydraulic behavior of a porous medium saturated by a single fluid: water in its liquid phase. In Code_Aster, this is a HMou THMen temperature-blocking model. According to the models, the associated fluid behavior law is either type LIQU_SATU (models A, C, E, G, I, J) or type LIQU_GAZ_ATM (models B, D, F, H) or type (models B, D, F, H).
