Re: [Question #658938]: Modeling presence of water( a degree of saturation) in consolidation test

Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
2) The short answer is "keep it =3". If =0 you will use a less efficient
strategy for solving. Other numbers will not work. Misleading, I agree.

3)  The 6 values are for the six boundaries, sorted as in
x-,x+,y-,y+,z-,z+. I think the example script oedometer.py illustrates
that very well, and it answers directly your sub-question  on "1D
consolidation along Z .axis".

4) see 2)

5-1) ---> "Is it not important to provide the density of the fluid we are using. for example water .."
No it is not. A viscous flow (assumption of this coupling) depends on viscosity only.
You need to keep in mind that "pressure" in the model corresponds to excess pore pressure, i.e. something in addition to the hydrostatic  pressure. The latter depends on density as you suggest but it causes no flow, it is not reflected in FlowEngines's pressure..

5-2) Please check the example script again.

Bruno
