Overview
- Self-contained introduction to the derivation of conservation, thermodynamic, and evolution equations for modeling multiphase porous media systems
- Formulates entropy inequalities that can be used to guide the closure of governing equation systems
- Includes detailed applications to formulate models for flow and transport consistent across scales
- Presents a forward-looking discussion of open research problems in multi-scale porous medium systems
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
