v7.33.100 WTNA100 —Calculation of capillary rebalancing of a bi-material

Summary:

This test case corresponds to the simplified hydraulic study of a slice of land in a storage site. Two materials are considered: an engineered barrier (\(\mathit{BO}\)) and a geological barrier (\(\mathit{BG}\)). Initially \(\mathit{BO}\) is desaturated and \(\mathit{BG}\) saturated. Here we study the capillary rebalancing of the whole (which corresponds to the restoration of the barrier created by the geological barrier).
