Advances in Porous Media, 2
Description
This is the second volume in the series “Advances in Porous Media”. The objective of the series is to provide a forum for publications
on developments in this fast-growing interdisciplinary area, with special emphasis on the frontiers of knowledge and on a unified approach
by scientists from such diverse fields as civil, mechanical, agricultural, environmental, chemical, ceramic, mining and petroleum engineering,
geohydrology, soil physics, powder metallurgy and mathematics. Since the processes in porous media occur in such varied areas groundwater
hydraulics, petroleum reservoir engineering, soil physics, soil and rock mechanics, industrial filtration, water purification, wastewater
treatment, soil drainage and irrigation, geothermal energy production, filtration in packed beds, powder compaction, metallurgy, ceramics,
biomechanics and underground coal conversion, the intended audience includes scientists, engineers and practitioners in these disciplines.
The
present volume reviews the transport of reactive solutes in soils, the variety of origins, structures, and occurrences of non-linear
waves in porous media, the anion exclusion phenomenon in soils, critical concentration models, electrokinetic flow processes in porous
media and various approaches to model flow and contaminant transport in fractured porous media.
