Description:We present a new stress/total-pressure formulation for poroelasticity that incorporates the coupling with steady nonlinear diffusion modified by stress. This nonlinear problem is written in mixed-primal form, which combines a perturbed twofold saddle-point system with an elliptic problem. We analyze the continuous formulation within the framework of abstract fixed-point theory and Fredholm alternative for compact operators. A mixed finite element method is proposed, and its stability and convergence are rigorously analyzed. We also provide a few representative numerical examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed formulation. The resulting model can be used to study the steady case of waste removal in the brain, providing insight into the transport of solutes in poroelastic structures under the influence of stress.
