The main purpose of this book is to provide the theoretical
background to engineers and scientists engaged in modeling
transport phenomena in porous media, in connection with various
engineering projects, and to serve as a text for senior and
graduate courses on transport phenomena in porous media. Such
courses are taught in various disciplines, e. g. , civil
engineering, chemical engineering, reservoir engineering,
agricultural engineering and soil science. In these disciplines,
problems are encountered in which various extensive quantities, e.
g. , mass and heat, are transported through a porous material
domain. Often the porous material contains several fluid phases,
and the various extensive quantities are transported simultaneously
throughout the multiphase system. In all these disciplines,
management decisions related to a system's development and its
operation have to be made. To do so, the 'manager', or the planner,
needs a tool that will enable him to forecast the response of the
system to the implementation of proposed management schemes. This
forecast takes the form of spatial and temporal distributions of
variables that describe the future state of the considered system.
Pressure, stress, strain, density, velocity, solute concentration,
temperature, etc. , for each phase in the system, and sometime for
a component of a phase, may serve as examples of state variables.
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 that approximately simulates the excitation-response
relations of the latter.
