Preface

This book, *Porous Fluids - Advances in Fluid Flow and Transport Phenomena in Porous Media*, discusses fluid flow and transport phenomena as encountered in civil and environmental engineering, petroleum and mathematical aspects, as well as chemical and geothermal engineering. It also covers the study of multiphase flow through porous media and introduces new methods. Portions of the book are devoted to interpretations of experimental results in this area and directions for future research. Written by authoritative experts in the field, this book can be used by applied mathematicians and engineers, especially those working in the area of porous media.
