A theoretical formulation of multi-gas flow coupled with heat and moisture transfer in partly saturated soil is presented in this paper. The theory is developed for the simulation of generic gas transfer problems in porous materials so that a wide range of problems may be simulated. Suitable numerical methods (FEM) are used to solve the theoretical formulation. A simple boundary value problem with raising temperature and raising one gas pressure as two driving forces is analysed. Results are presented showing the interactions among the water pressure, gas pressures and temperature. Particularly, in this case, the effects of temperature and pressure of gas one on pore water pressure and pressure of gas two are observed from the numerical results
