Transport phenomena in porous media continues to be a field which attracts intensive research activity. This is primarily due to the fact that it plays an important and practical role in a large variety of diverse scientific applications. "Transport Phenomena in Porous Media II" covers a wide range of the engineering and technological applications, including both stable and unstable flows, heat and mass transfer, porosity, and turbulence.
Interest in studying the phenomena of convective heat and mass
transfer between an ambient fluid and a body which is immersed in
it stems both from fundamental considerations, such as the
development of better insights into the nature of the underlying
physical processes which take place, and from practical
considerations, such as the fact that these idealised
configurations serve as a launching pad for
Research into thermal convection in porous media has substantially
increased during recent years due to its numerous practical
applications. These problems have attracted the attention of
industrialists, engineers and scientists from many very diversified
disciplines, such as applied mathematics, chemical, civil,
environmental, mechanical and nuclear engineering, geothermal
physics and food science. Thus, there is a wealth of information
now available on convective processes in porous media and it is
therefore appropriate and timely to undertake a new critical
evaluation of this contemporary information. "Transport Phenomena
in Porous Media" contains 17 chapters and represents the collective
work of 27 of the world's leading experts, from 12 countries, in
heat transfer in porous media. The recent intensive research in
this area has substantially raised the expectations for numerous
new practical applications and this makes the book a most timely
addition to the existing literature. It includes recent major
developments in both the fundamentals and applications, and
provides valuable information to researchers dealing with practical
problems in thermal convection in porous media. Each chapter of the
book describes recent developments in the highly advanced
analytical, numerical and experimental techniques which are
currently being employed and discussions of possible future
developments are provided. Such reviews not only result in the
consolidation of the currently available information, but also
facilitate the identification of new industrial applications and
research topics which merit further work.
