This book describes in detail the current, state-of-the-art numerical treatment and simulation of multiphase flows in porous media. The porous media considered range from ordinary to fractured and deformable media, the models treated from single-phase compressible flow to multiphase multicomponent flow with mass interchange, while the computational algorithms encompass everything from classical iterative solvers to modern multigrid and domain decomposition approaches. Addressing many problems originating from the applied geosciences, the book focuses on their common mathematical and computational aspects. It will serve as an excellent research reference for all geoscientists, mathematicians, physicists, and engineers who work in the mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of multiphase flows in porous media.
"Revolution and Pedagogy" explores the tensions between and within
the processes of revolutionary pedagogical change and continuity.
Focusing on those enacting pedagogical contexts, E. Thomas Ewing's
collection provides an innovative and sophisticated exploration of
complex directions and forces. These revolutions include the
struggle for independence in the Philippines, the Russian
revolution that led to communist Soviet Union, the Egyptian
campaigns against British colonial authority, the development of
Kurdish national identity in the context of Turkey's modernization,
radical and reformist educational movements in Western Europe and
the Americas, the Palestinian struggle for self-determination, and
the contemporary debate over national and religious identity in
India. "Revolution and Pedagogy" examines conventional topics such
as school policies and curriculum content, as well as more
non-traditional pedagogies such as public celebrations of holidays,
participation in international exchange programs, and the
incarceration of political activists. The geographically diverse
contributors from a wide range of disciplinary approaches produce
interdisciplinary and transnational perspectives on education and
revolution.
The papers in this volume arose out of two workshops entitled "Confinement and Remediation of Environmental Hazards," and "Resource Recovery," as part of the IMA 1999-2000 program year. These workshops brought together mathematicians, engineers and scientists to summarize recent theoretical, computational, and experimental advances in the theory of phenomena in porous media. The first workshop focused on the mathematical problems which arise in groundwater transport of contamination, and the spreading, confinement and remediation of biological, chemical and radioactive waste. In the second conference, the processes underlying petroleum recovery and the geological time scale of deformation, flow and reaction in porous media were discussed. Simulation techniques were used to simulate complex domains with widely-ranging spatial resolution and types of physics. Probability funcional methods for determining the most probable state of the subsurface and related uncertainty were discussed. Practical examples included breakout from chemical and radioactive waste repositories, confinement by injection of pore plugging material and bioremediation of petroleum and other wastes. This volume will be of interest to subsurface science practitioners who would like a view of recent mathematical and experimental efforts to examine subsurface science phenomena related to resource recovery and remediation issues.

This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications RESOURCE
RECOVERY, CONFINEMENT, AND REMEDIATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
contains papers presented at two successful one-week workshops:
Confine ment and Remediation of Environmental Hazards held on
January 15-19, 2000 and Resource Recovery, February 9-13, 2000.
Both workshops were integral parts of the IMA annual program on
Mathematics in Reactive Flow and Transport Phenomena, 1999-2000. We
would like to thank John Chadam (University of Pittsburgh), Al
Cunningham (Montana State Uni versity), Richard E. Ewing (Texas
A&M University), Peter Ortoleva (In diana University), and Mary
Fanett Wheeler (TICAM, The University of Texas at Austin) for their
excellent work as organizers of the meetings and for editing the
proceedings. We take this opportunity to thank the National Science
Foundation for their support of the IMA. Series Editors Douglas N.
Arnold, Director of the IMA Fadil Santosa, Deputy Director of the
IMA v PREFACE Advances in resource recovery, and
confinement/remediation of envi ronmental hazards requires a
coordinated, interdisciplinary effort involving mathematicians,
scientists and engineers. The intent of this collection of papers
is to summarize recent theoretical, computational, and experimen
tal advances in the theory of phenomena in porous media, with the
intent to identify similarities and differences concerning
applications related to both resource recovery and confinement and
remediation of environmental hazards.

This volume is the Proceedings of the symposium held at the
University of Wyoming in August, 1985, to honor Gail Young on his
seventieth birthday (which actually took place on October 3, 1985)
and on the occasion of his retirement. Nothing can seem more
natural to a mathematician in this country than to honor Gail
Young. Gail embodies all the qualities that a mathematician should
possess. He is an active and effective research mathematician,
having written over sixty pa pers in topology, n-dimensional
analysis, complex variables, and "miscellanea." He is an
outstanding expositor, as his fine book Topology, written with J.
G. Hocking (Addison Wesley, 1961), amply demonstrates. He has a
superlative record in public office of outstanding, unstinting
service to the mathematical community and to the cause of
education. But what makes Gail unique and special is that
throughout all aspects of his distinguished career, he has
emphasized human values in everything he has done. In touching the
lives of so many of us, he has advanced the entire profession.
Deservedly, he has innumerable friends in the mathematical
community, the academic community, and beyond."
The need to predict, understand, and optimize complex physical and
c- mical processes occurring in and around the earth, such as
groundwater c- tamination, oil reservoir production, discovering
new oil reserves, and ocean hydrodynamics, has been increasingly
recognized. Despite their seemingly disparate natures, these
geoscience problems have many common mathe- tical and computational
characteristics. The techniques used to describe and study them are
applicable across a broad range of areas. The study of the above
problems through physical experiments, mat- matical theory, and
computational techniques requires interdisciplinary col- boration
between engineers, mathematicians, computational scientists, and
other researchers working in industry, government laboratories, and
univ- sities. By bringing together such researchers, meaningful
progress can be made in predicting, understanding, and optimizing
physical and chemical processes. The International Workshop on
Fluid Flow and Transport in Porous - dia was successfully held in
Beijing, China, August 2{6, 1999. The aim of this workshop was to
bring together applied mathematicians, computational scientists,
and engineers working actively in the mathematical and nume- cal
treatment of ?uid ?ow and transport in porous media. A broad range
of researchers presented papers and discussed both problems and
current, state-of-the-art techniques.
