A.3 Case A.2 Dimensionless pressure (top) <strong>and</strong> vertical displacement distribu-<br />

tions (bottom) at early time, td = 3.7 × 10 −19 . Note that subsidence is<br />

positive. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 221<br />

A.4 Dimensionless vertical-displacement distribution of the top layer at early<br />

time, td = 3.7 × 10 −19 . The left part shows large subsidence, <strong>and</strong> the subsi-<br />

dence decreases along the right direction. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 222<br />

A.5 Case A.2 Convergence of pressure (top) <strong>and</strong> displacement (bottom). First-<br />

order accuracy in time is observed <strong>for</strong> both pressure <strong>and</strong> displacement. . . . 223<br />

B.1 Typical shapes of capillary pressure regarding wetting <strong>and</strong> non-wetting phases<br />

(e.g., Sw <strong>and</strong> Sg, respectively). pco = po − pw, <strong>and</strong> pcg = pg − po. The cap-<br />

illary pressure curves are drawn based on the work of Lenhard <strong>and</strong> Parker<br />

(1987) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 226<br />
