Abstract

Robust and reliable numerical models are vital to solve the Richards’ equation, which depicts the variably saturated flows in porous media. In this study, the Richards’ equation is discretized spatially with the numerical manifold method (NMM) and temporally with the backward Euler scheme, in which the under-relaxation and mass lumping techniques are introduced to keep the numerical stability and mass balance. Several examples are performed to validate the correctness and accuracy of the proposed model. The numerical results demonstrate the potential applicability of the proposed model to solve saturated-unsaturated seepage problems.

利用数值流形法模拟多孔介质中的可变饱和流动

稳健可靠的数值模型对于求解描述多孔介质中可变饱和流动的理查兹方程至关重要。本研究采用数值流形法（NMM）对理查兹方程进行空间离散化，并采用后向欧拉方案对其进行时间离散化，其中引入了欠松弛和质量块技术，以保持数值稳定性和质量平衡。通过几个实例验证了所提模型的正确性和准确性。数值结果证明了所提模型在解决饱和-非饱和渗流问题上的潜在适用性。
