Description

This is a simple fluid model. It can be combined with an equation-of-state for a non-linear pressure-volume relationship. If not using an equation-of-state the pressure $p$ is defined as:

$p = \mathrm{max} (p_c, -K \varepsilon_v - \mu \dot\varepsilon_v)$

where $\varepsilon_v$ is the volumetric strain. An artifical shear stiffness can be used to stabilize Finite Elements using this material. The deviatoric stresses are then:

$\mathbf{\sigma}_{dev} = 2 G \mathbf{\varepsilon}_{dev}$
