I am trying to understand the process so I could potentially extend this formulation for biphasic materials. The way it handles incompressibility is perfect for high water content tissues. My concern revolves around adding another phase and explicitly solving for the fluid displacements in the system. I was going to follow a similar strategy, but I am worried that this approach is very specific.

IMHO the key feature for this approach is the ability to condense out the pressure and volumetric ratio variables and recover the displacement only formulation but with anti-locking properties baked in as opposed to starting with a pure displacement formulation. I would like to preserve that if possible. I am just worried I will wind up in a hole I cannot climb out of...

These comments were very helpful. One quick question if you just proceed without the condensation would that still work? In one of the tutorials, If I abandoned the notion of using the CG solver and used something like GMRES can I avoid some of the manipulation after I have the linearized system?

Thanks for the prompt response and thoughtful answers! This stuff is hard and fascinating at the same time.

Matthew -- a common problem when writing tutorials is that it's hard to anticipate what will be clear to readers and what will not. If you think that there are things you learned from Jean-Paul's email that you wished had been part of the text surrounding step-44, would you be interested in extending the documentation of that program?

 Wolfgang
