Vertical compaction in a faulted sedimentary basin
ESAIM: Modélisation mathématique et analyse numérique, Tome 37 (2003) no. 2, pp. 373-388.

In this paper, we consider a 2D mathematical modelling of the vertical compaction effect in a water saturated sedimentary basin. This model is described by the usual conservation laws, Darcy's law, the porosity as a function of the vertical component of the effective stress and the Kozeny-Carman tensor, taking into account fracturation effects. This model leads to study the time discretization of a nonlinear system of partial differential equations. The existence is obtained by a fixed-point argument. The uniqueness proof, by Holmgren's method, leads to work out a linear, strongly coupled, system of partial differential equations and boundary conditions.
