1. Thermo-hydro-mechanical coupled MPM for saturated porous media
Jidu works on develop stablized and efficient MPM algrithms for modelling the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) reponses in porous media.
- Four-variable u-v-p-T formualtion for non-isothermal saturated porous media.
- A semi-implicit solution scheme based on fractional step method;
- Both the incompressible and weakly compressible fluid are considered.

2. Coupled MPM for modelling freezing and thawing of porous media
Jidu develops thermo-hydro-mechanical MPM to simualte the thawing and freezing process in granualr soils.
