In this paper we develop adaptive iterative coupling schemes for the Biot system modeling coupled poromechanics problems. We particularly consider the space-time formulation of the fixed-stress iterative scheme, in which we first solve the problem of flow over the whole space-time interval, then exploiting the space-time information for solving the mechanics. Two common discretizations of this algorithm are then introduced based on two coupled mixed finite element methods in-space and the backward Euler scheme in-time. Therefrom, adaptive fixed-stress algorithms are build on conforming reconstructions of the pressure and displacement together with equilibrated flux and stresses reconstructions. These ingredients are used to derive a posteriori error estimates for the fixed-stress algorithms, distinguishing the different error components, namely the spatial discretization, the temporal discretization, and the fixed-stress iteration components. Precisely, at the iteration $k\geq 1$ of the adaptive algorithm, we prove that our estimate gives a guaranteed and fully computable upper bound on the energy-type error measuring the difference between the exact and approximate pressure and displacement. These error components are efficiently used to design adaptive asynchronous time-stepping and adaptive stopping criteria for the fixed-stress algorithms. Numerical experiments illustrate the efficiency of our estimates and the performance of the adaptive iterative coupling algorithms. |
