Description:
Due to the scarcity of information, there is commonly a high degree of uncertainty regarding the properties of porous media. Contributions to the knowledge of modeling flow and transport, as well as to the characterization of porous media at a field scale, are of great relevance. This book broaches several of these issues, treated with assorted methodologies grouped into four parts: Fundamental Concepts, Flow and transport, Statistical and Stochastic characterization, and Waves.
