In this work, we consider two discretizations of the three-field formulation of Biot’s consolidation problem. They employ the lowest-order mixed finite elements for the flow (Raviart-Thomas-Nédélec elements for the Darcy velocity and piecewise constants for the pressure) and are stable with respect to the physical parameters. The difference is in the mechanics: one of the discretizations uses Crouzeix-Raviart nonconforming linear elements; the other is based on piecewise linear elements stabilized by using face bubbles, which are subsequently eliminated. The numerical solutions obtained from these discretizations satisfy mass conservation: the former directly and the latter after a simple postprocessing.
