9780784404607: Coupled Processes in Subsurface Deformation, Flow, and Transport

Synopsis

Bai (rock mechanics, U. of Oklahoma) and Elsworth (energy and geo-environmental engineering, Pennsylvania State U.) cover fundamental principles and analytical and numerical approaches that may be applied in representing the coupled interaction of deformation, flow, and transport in porous and fractured media. The component topics of deformation, flow, and transport are included in separate chapters, with emphasis given to the coupled processes that result when they combine. The predominant theme that permeates the text is the utility of describing behavior at different length and time scales through the concept of a multiporous medium. Annotation c.
