Sequential solution strategies for the Cahn-Hilliard-Biot model

This paper presents a study of solution strategies for the Cahn-Hilliard-Biot equations, a complex mathematical model for understanding flow in deformable porous media with changing solid phases. Solving the Cahn-Hilliard-Biot system poses significant challenges due to its coupled, nonlinear and non-convex nature. We explore various solution algorithms, comparing monolithic and splitting strategies, focusing on both their computational efficiency and robustness.
