The primary goal of this project is to develop, analyze and implement optimal
and scalable numerical methods for variable-coefficient poroelastic models under the finite element method
(FEM), finite volume method (FVM) and immersed interface method (IIM) discretizations. The long-term
goal will be the integration of the poroelastic solvers with fluid solvers and their applications to multi-physics
problems in geoscience and biomedical engineering.
