Abstract We present residual-based a posteriori error estimates of mixed finite element methods for the three-field formulation of Biot’s consolidation model. The error estimator are upper and lower bounds of the space-time discretization error up to data oscillation. As a by-product, we also obtain a new a posteriori error estimate of mixed finite element methods for the heat equation.
