Transport in Porous Media is devoted to the presentation of original
basic and applied research work on the physical and chemical aspects of
transport of extensive quantities such as mass of a fluid phase, mass of a
component of a phase, momentum and energy, in single and multiphase flow in a
(possibly deformable) porous medium domain, as encountered in a variety of
scientific and engineering disciplines: chemical, civil, agricultural, petroleum
and mechanical, to mention but a few. Understanding these transport phenomena,
first at the microscopic scale and then at larger ones, serves as a basis for
the construction of deterministic and stochastic mathematical and numerical
models that describe them. These models are then used, among other cases, to
describe flow and contaminant transport in aquifers and in the unsaturated zone,
oil and gas movement in petroleum reservoirs, solvent drives and enhanced oil
recovery, heat and mass transport in packed bed reactors in chemical
engineering, in geothermal reservoirs and in building materials, spreading of
pollutants from radioactive waste repositories, filtration processes, and
transport of fluids and chemicals in lungs and other organs, as studies in
biomedical engineering.
The emphasis in Transport in Porous Media
is on both theory, laboratory work and (nonroutine) applications. New
developments in analytical and numerical techniques are also welcome.
Occasionally, invited state of the art reviews are included when they provide a
solid background for future research.
