About this book
Reviews
“I enjoyed reading it and I would recommend it to all researchers in this subject area. What I like about this exposition is that theoretical concepts and methods are illustrated with simple examples, linked to laboratory experiments and supplemented by numerical simulations. Another useful feature of this book is that the advantages and disadvantages of each method are clearly explained and potential ways for alleviating the limitations of the method are discussed. … As a result, the book can be used as standard tutorial for the way various upscaling methods for water flow in unsaturated porous media are applied. This is an authoritative document that promises to become a milestone publication and a standard reference book in modeling water flow in unsaturated porous media systems.” (Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rainer Helmig, Universität Stuttgart, July 16, 2012)
