TRANSPORT IN POROUS MEDIA

Transport in Porous Media publishes original research 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. These are presented in the context of chemical, civil, agricultural, petroleum and mechanical engineering.Transport phenomena, understood from the microscopic scale upward, form the basis for deterministic and stochastic models that describe them. The models are adaptable to describe flow and contaminant transport in aquifers; 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; spread of pollutants from radioactive waste repositories; filtration processes, and biomedical studies of fluid and chemical transport in lungs and other organs.

多孔介质中的输运发表了有关大量输运的物理和化学方面的原始研究，如流体相质量、相组分质量、动量和能量，在（可能变形的）多孔介质域中的单相和多相流中。这些都是在化学，民用，农业，石油和机械工程的背景下提出的。从微观尺度向上理解的输运现象形成了描述这些现象的确定性和随机模型的基础。该模型适用于描述含水层中的流动和污染物输送；石油储层中的油气运动；溶剂驱动和提高石油采收率；化学工程中填充床反应器、地热储层和建筑材料中的热量和质量输送；放射性废物库中污染物的扩散；肺和其他器官中液体和化学转运的过滤过程和生物医学研究。
