1. Reference problem#
1.1. Presentation#
In this test case, we study the hydraulic behavior of a saturated porous medium constituted by a single fluid: water in its liquid phase. The associated law of fluid behavior is of type LIQU_SATU. The modeling is hydromechanical (HM). The fluid is incompressible and the medium is infinitely rigid. It is therefore a stationary problem involving an analytical solution. The objective of this test is to validate the correct consideration of a hydraulic flow boundary condition in the case of axisymmetric modeling.
1.2. Geometry#
A bar of length \(L=\mathrm{1m}\) is represented. Its width l is not involved in the analytical solution because the problem is purely 1D. Here we take \(l=\mathrm{0,2}m\). Point N1 corresponds to the coordinate point \((\mathrm{0,0})\mathrm{.}\)
