Concluding remarks
A deeper insight in the multiphysics nature of porous materials, i.e. by including air dissolved in water, a unified approach to multiphysics modelling of saturated/partially saturated porous materials can be developed. The transition from fully to partially saturated state can be modelled without:
1. formulation of the Stefan problem, 2. application of a residual gas saturation Sg > 0 in fully saturated condition, 3. switching procedure (pg = patm in fully saturated condition)

Concluding remarks
the dissolved air has a small influence on the overall results of numerical simulations, while histories of fluid variables differ from other approaches neglecting air dissolved Future works: improvement of the numerical modelling: - capillary dependent constitutive laws (e.g. Bolzon-Schrefler-Zienkiewicz - model or ACMEG-TS by L. Laloui, Lausanne, CH) - large strains & 3D parallel solver - regularization of the model for strain localization objectivity simulation Application to environmental engineering problems
