Abstract

We investigate an energy-based formulation of the two-field poroelasticity model and the related multiple-network model as they appear in the geosciences or medical applications. We propose a port-Hamiltonian formulation of the system equations, which is beneficial for preserving important system properties after discretization or model-order reduction. For this, we include the commonly omitted second-order term and consider the corresponding first-order formulation. The port-Hamiltonian formulation of the quasi-static case is then obtained by taking the formal limit. Further, we interpret the poroelastic equations as an interconnection of a network of submodels with internal energies, adding a control-theoretic understanding of the poroelastic equations.
