Abstract: We propose, analyze and implement a virtual element discretization for an interfacial poroelasticity-elasticity consolidation problem. The formulation of the time-dependent poroelasticity equations uses displacement, fluid pressure, and total pressure, and the elasticity equations are written in the displacement-pressure formulation. The construction of the virtual element scheme does not require Lagrange multipliers to impose the transmission conditions (continuity of displacement and total traction, and no-flux for the fluid) on the interface. We show the stability and convergence of the virtual element method for different polynomial degrees, and the error bounds are robust with respect to delicate model parameters (such as Lame constants, permeability, and storativity coefficient). Finally, we provide numerical examples that illustrate the properties of the scheme.
