%X An iterative method for coupling fluid flow and mechanical deformation in porous media is presented. The iteratively coupled scheme of the STARS reservoir simulator was applied to three example problems: the Mandel-Cryer phenomenon; a bone specimen under cyclical loading; and a dual-material (continuum) example. Through these examples the accuracy of the numerical scheme was confirmed, and the applicability of STARS as a sophisticated tool for the study of problems in bone fluid flow was demonstrated.
