Overview
- Presents a detailed analysis of the physics, chemistry and thermodynamic basis (and of the corresponding mathematical representations) of all phenomena and processes of flow and transport of mass and momentum and energy through porous/fractured media
- Provides the foundations of the continuum approach and to mathematical modeling at the microscopic and macroscopic levels of mass momentum and energy in single and multiphase flow and transport
- Allows readers to develop a thorough understanding of the coefficients appearing in models of transport in porous media; from the question of "what is a porous medium" to well-posed mathematical models
- Starting from first principles, it develops continuum mathematical models of mass, momentum and energy transport in single and multi-phase flow in porous media
- Includes an in-depth discussion of well-posed mathematical models of coupled processes associated with the transport of single- and multiple interacting phases and multi-component reactive solute transport in multiphase flow involving phase changes and interphase transfers
- Develops models of porous medium deformation and geo-mechanical processes
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Reviews
“The book is designed primarily for advanced undergraduate and graduate students interested in porous media, water hydrology, soil mechanics, soil physics, petroleum and chemical engineering. It is highly recommended as well to scientists and engineers already working in these fields, and to university teachers. Systematic and comprehensive, this book satisfies the highest standards of excellence and will undoubtedly become a standard reference book in the field of porous media.” (Ioan Pop, zbMATH 1390.76001, 2018)
