Modelling of Permeation Grouting Through Soils

In this study, mathematical modeling of permeation grouting through fully saturated soil is proposed based on immiscible multiphase flow theory. Grout flow in the medium is modeled together with the existing water as the simultaneous flow of two immiscible fluids. In the model, the porous medium is assumed as isotropic and rigid, fluids are assumed as incompressible and capillary pressure is assumed as negligible. Governing equations are discretized using upstream weighted finite element technique and results show that, proposed models give good results and may be used in the numerical simulation of grouting through fully saturated soils.
