Flow and Transport in Fractured Porous Media [Paperback]

This book addresses the characterization of flow and transport in porous fractured media from experimental and modeling perspectives. It provides a comprehensive presentation of investigations performed and analyzed on different scales.

Assessment of Fractured Porous Media.- Aquifer-Analogue Approach.- From Natural System to Numerical Model.- Project Scale Studies.- Core Scale.- Bench Scale.- Field-Block Scale.- Scale-Independent Approaches and Investigations.- The Multi-shell Model - A Conceptual Model Approach.- The Sensitivity Coefficient Approach.- Diffusivity Measurements.- Analysis of the Influence of Boundaries.- A Multivariate Statistical Approach.

This book addresses the characterization of flow and transport in porous fractured media from experimental and modeling perspectives. The volume explores porous media problems, from the origin of the present natural porous structures, to their characterization, and various flow and transport phenomena that exist within the porous media. Examples are miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock and the physical and chemical interactions within porous fractured aquifers. The book is a comprehensive presentation of investigations performed and analysed on different scales, supporting the understanding and application of experimental studies and numerical simulations.
