The field of numerical methods for porous media and fluid-structure interactions is experiencing significant developments, driven by the need for more accurate and efficient simulations. Researchers are exploring new formulations, such as the Stokes-Brinkman-type formulation, and developing innovative methods like the Active Flux method and Hybrid High-Order methods. These advancements aim to improve the stability, convergence, and computational performance of numerical simulations, particularly in complex scenarios like shock-capturing and brittle fracture. Notable papers in this area include the Investigation of Shock-Capturing with Bound-Preserving Limiters for the Nonlinearly Stable Flux Reconstruction Method, which demonstrates the robustness and accuracy of the NSFR scheme, and the Hybrid High-Order method for the power-law Brinkman problem, which shows robustness in all regimes. Additionally, the development of GPU-accelerated packages like LevelSetPy and GeoWarp is enhancing computational efficiency and enabling faster simulations. These advancements have the potential to impact various fields, including geomechanics, bioengineering, and materials science.
