Figure A.2: Case A.1 Stability of pressure at early time <strong>for</strong> Terzaghi’s problem. Top:<br />

pressure distributions at early <strong>and</strong> late time by the nodal based finite element method,<br />

where linear interpolation is used <strong>for</strong> pressure <strong>and</strong> displacement (Wan, 2002). Bottom:<br />

pressure distributions at early <strong>and</strong> late time by the combined finite-volume <strong>and</strong> finiteelement<br />

approach.
