Synopsis

Advances in Porous Media is a new annual review series providing a forum for publication of recent developments in this interdisciplinary area. The series is aimed at all scientists and engineers concerned with fundamentals and applications of processes in porous media. This first volume contains five chapters. Chapter 1 reviews the governing equations and solution procedures of compositional simulators used in reservoir engineering and groundwater hydrology. Recently the application of multiphase, multicomponent models has attracted much attention as a result of contamination of soils and groundwater by petroleum hydrocarbons. Multicomponent models provide a useful tool to predict the migration pattern of target components, e.g. benzene, in a multicomponent contaminant solution such as gasoline. After a review of fundamentals of the subject, various numerical solution techniques are outlined, and simplifications for specific cases are noted. Chapter 2 reviews the flow of water in both dry and wet snow. Although snow is a porous medium, its texture, grain size and shape undergo rapid changes due to melting and freezing cycles. The advantages and limitations of the physically-based models available in the literature are also discussed. Chapter 3 reviews the transport of dielectric and magnetizable fluids through porous media. After a review of governing equations and interfacial stability, follows discussion of experiments in a Hele-Shaw cell and sandbed. Elimination of bubbling in gas fluidized beds by stabilization is also presented. Chapter 4 discusses the methodology to analyze filtration processes by multiphase fluid flow approach. Theoretical results and experimental information are reviewed and there is comparison of multiphase theory with classical analysis of cake filtration. Chapter 5 discusses stochastic differential equations constructed from deterministic transport equations by re-interpreting their physical parameters as random functions and gives examples for both reactive and conservative solutes.
