Modelling of Flow and Transport in Fractal Porous Media

Advances in Modelling of Flow and Transport in Fractal Porous Media explores recent theoretical advances and modelling on fluids transport in fractal porous systems, and presents a systematic understanding of the characterization of complex microstructure and transport mechanism in fractal porous media. Advances in Modelling of Flow and Transport in Fractal Porous Media shows how fractal theory and technology, combined with other modern experiments and numerical simulation methods, will assist researchers and practitioners in modelling of transport properties of fractal porous media, such as fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, mechanical characteristics, and electrical conductivity. Presents the main methods and technologies for transport characterization of fractal porous media, including soils, reservoirs and artificial materialsProvides the most recent theoretical advances in modelling of fractal porous media, including gas and vapor transport in fibrous materials, nonlinear seepage flow in hydrocarbon reservoirs, mass transfer of porous nanofibers, and fractal mechanics of unsaturated soilsIncludes multidisciplinary examples of applications of fractal theory to aid researchers and practitioners in characterizing various porous media structures INDICE: 1.
