Transport phenomenain porous media are encounteredin various
disciplines, e. g. , civil engineering, chemical engineering,
reservoir engineering, agricul tural engineering and soil science.
In these disciplines, problems are en countered in which various
extensive quantities, e. g. , mass and heat, are transported
through a porous material domain. Often, the void space of the
porous material contains two or three fluid phases, and the various
ex tensive quantities are transported simultaneously through the
multiphase system. In all these disciplines, decisions related to a
system's development and its operation have to be made. To do so a
tool is needed that will pro vide a forecast of the system's
response to the implementation of proposed decisions. This response
is expressed in the form of spatial and temporal distributions of
the state variables that describe the system's behavior. Ex amples
of such state variables are pressure, stress, strain, density,
velocity, solute concentration, temperature, etc. , for each phase
in the system, The tool that enables the required predictions is
the model. A model may be defined as a simplified version of the
real porous medium system and the transport phenomena that occur in
it. Because the model is a sim plified version of the real system,
no unique model exists for a given porous medium system. Different
sets of simplifying assumptions, each suitable for a particular
task, will result in different models.
