Written by renowned experts in the field, this book assesses the
status of groundwater models and defines models and modeling needs
in the 21st century. It reviews the state of the art in model
development and application in regional groundwater management,
unsaturated flow/multiphase flow and transport, island modeling,
biological and virus transport, and fracture flow. Both
deterministic and stochastic aspects of unsaturated flow and
transport are covered. The book also introduces a unique assessment
of models as analysis and management tools for groundwater
resources. Topics covered include model vs. data uncertainty,
accuracy of the dispersion/convection equation, protocols for model
testing and validation, post-audit studies, and applying models to
karst aquifers.
This volume contains the lectures presented at the NATO Advanced
Study Institute that took place at the University of Delaware,
Newark, Delaware, July 18-27, 1982. The purpose of this Institute
was to provide an international forum for exchange of ideas and
dissemination of knowledge on some selected topics in Mechanics of
Fluids in Porous Media. Processes of transport of such extensive
quantities as mass of a phase, mass of a component of a phase,
momentum and/or heat occur in diversified fields, such as petroleum
reservoir engineer ing, groundwater hydraulics, soil mechanics,
industrial filtration, water purification, wastewater treatment,
soil drainage and irri gation, and geothermal energy production. In
all these areas, scientists, engineers and planners make use of
mathematical models that describe the relevant transport processes
that occur within porous medium domains, and enable the forecasting
of the future state of the latter in response to planned
activities. The mathe matical models, in turn, are based on the
understanding of phenomena, often within the void space, and on
theories that re late these phenomena to measurable quantities.
Because of the pressing needs in areas of practical interest, such
as the develop ment of groundwater resources, the control and
abatement of groundwater contamination, underground energy storage
and geo thermal energy production, a vast amount of research
efforts in all these fields has contributed, especially in the last
t o decades, to our understanding and ability to describe transport
phenomena."
This volume contains the lectures presented at the NATO ADVANCED
STUDY INSTITUTE that took place at Newark, Delaware, U. S. A. ,
July 14-23, 1985. The objective of this meeting was to present and
discuss selected topics associated with transport phenomena in
porous media. By their very nature, porous media and phenomena of
transport of extensive quantities that take place in them, are very
complex. The solid matrix may be rigid, or deformable (elastically,
or following some other constitutive relation), the void space may
be occupied by one or more fluid phases. Each fluid phase may be
composed of more than one component, with the various components
capable of interacting among themselves and/or with the solid
matrix. The transport process may be isothermal or non-isothermal,
with or without phase changes. Porous medium domains in which
extensive quantities, such as mass of a fluid phase, component of a
fluid phase, or heat of the porous medium as a whole, are being
transported occur in the practice in a variety of disciplines.
