• An accelerated staggered scheme for variational phase-field models of brittle fracture 

      Storvik, Erlend; Both, Jakub Wiktor; Sargado, Juan Michael Uy Villanueva; Nordbotten, Jan Martin; Radu, Florin Adrian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      There is currently an increasing interest in developing efficient solvers for variational phase-field models of brittle fracture. The governing equations for this problem originate from a constrained minimization of a ...
    • An adaptive solution strategy for Richards' equation 

      Stokke, Jakob Seierstad; Mitra, Koondanibha; Storvik, Erlend; Both, Jakub Wiktor; Radu, Florin Adrian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Flow in variably saturated porous media is typically modeled by the Richards equation, a nonlinear elliptic-parabolic equation which is notoriously challenging to solve numerically. In this paper, we propose a robust and ...

      Nordbotten, Jan Martin; Benali, Benyamine; Both, Jakub Wiktor; Brattekås, Bergit; Storvik, Erlend; Fernø, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Understanding porous media flow is inherently a multi-scale challenge, where at the core lies the aggregation of pore-level processes to a continuum, or Darcy-scale, description. This challenge is directly mirrored in image ...
    • Development of robust and efficient solution strategies for coupled problems 

      Storvik, Erlend (Doctoral thesis, 2022-10-10)
      Det er mange modeller i moderne vitenskap hvor sammenkoblingen mellom forskjellige fysiske prosesser er svært viktig. Disse finner man for eksempel i forbindelse med lagring av karbondioksid i undervannsreservoarer, flyt ...

      Storvik, Erlend; Both, Jakub; Nordbotten, Jan Martin; Radu, Florin Adrian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The fixed-stress splitting scheme is a popular method for iteratively solving the Biot equations. The method successively solves the flow and mechanics subproblems while adding a stabilizing term to the flow equation, which ...

      Storvik, Erlend; Both, Jakub Wiktor; Nordbotten, Jan Martin; Radu, Florin Adrian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      In this paper we propose a solution strategy for the Cahn-Larché equations, which is a model for linearized elasticity in a medium with two elastic phases that evolve subject to a Ginzburg-Landau type energy functional. ...
