Abstract
In this paper we introduce a new formulation for the stationary poroelasticity equations
written using the rotation vector and the total fluid-solid pressure as additional unknowns, and
we also write an extension to the elasticity-poroelasticity problem. The transmission conditions are
imposed naturally in the weak formulation, and the analysis of the effective governing equations is
conducted by an application of Fredholm's alternative. We also propose a monolithically coupled
mixed finite element method for the numerical solution of the problem. Its convergence properties
are rigorously derived and subsequently confirmed by a set of computational tests that include
applications to subsurface flow in reservoirs as well as to dentistry-oriented problems.
