A coupled hydromechanical model was used to analyze the mesoscale pore fluid flow and microscale solid phase deformation of saturated granular soils. The fluid motion was idealized using averaged Navier–Stokes equations, and the discrete element method was employed to model the assemblage of solid particles. The fluid–particle interactions were quantified using established semiempirical relationships. Simulations were conducted to investigate the three-dimensional response of sandy deposits when subjected to critical and overcritical upward pore fluid flow. These simulations revealed complex response patterns after the onset of quicksand conditions and provided valuable insight into the associated mechanisms. The employed model provides an effective tool to assess the microscale mechanisms and characteristics of the partially drained response of saturated granular media.
