The goal of "Porous Media: Geometry and Transports" is to provide the basis of a rational and modern approach to porous media. This book emphasizes several geometrical structures (spatially periodic, fractal, and random to reconstructed) and the three major single-phase transports (diffusion, convection, and Taylor dispersion)."Porous Media" serves various purposes. For students it introduces basic information on structure and transports. Engineers will find this book useful as a readily accessible assemblage of al the major experimental results pertaining to single-phase transports in porous media. For scientists it presents the latest developments in the field, some of which have never before been published.
Introduction; The Geometry of Porous Media; Transports in Porous Media; Spatially Periodic Structures; Diffusion in Spatially Periodic Structures; Flow in Spatially Periodic Structures; Taylor Dispersion in Spatially Periodic Structures; Spatially Periodic Capillary Networks; Deterministic Fractal Structures; Fractal Capillary Networks; Continuous Deterministic Fractals; Random Structures; Random Networks; Random Continua; Reconstructed Porous Media.
