Isogeometric Analysis of Coupled Problems in Porous Media

This is my PhD defense presentation summarizing the research work from 2012 - 2016 at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU. The research work mainly investigates the application of isogeometric analysis to coupled problems in porous media such as porous media flow, hydro-mechanics (poroelasticity) and thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) simulations. My supervisors have been Prof. Steinar Nordal and Prof. Trond Kvamsdal, from the Civil and Environmental Engineering and from the Applied Mathematics departments, respectively.
