Multiphase Flows in Deformable Geomaterials (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Multiphase Flows in Deformable Geomaterials proposes that multiscale coupling of multiphase flow and multicomponents within a deformable porous medium is complex and interdisciplinary and lacks a unified theory. To address this gap, the book proposes chemo-physical Mixture-Coupling Theory and non-equilibrium thermodynamic processes to derive governing equations for multiphase transport and mechanical behavior. This addresses challenges in the existing multiscale coupling theory and brings together physics and chemistry within the realm of thermodynamics. The series of constitutive equations can be applied to any constitutive model in porous media, across many disciplines related to soils, concrete, and catalysis.This book is particularly addressed to geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineeringbringing together multiphase flows of water and gas, chemicals, and within soils and rocks. Highlights include hydromechanical coupling, unsaturated hydromechanicalchemical coupling, thermohydromechanical coupling, and thermohydromechanicalchemical coupling, with consideration of chemo and thermo osmosis and microscopic swelling mechanisms. It is written for advanced students and researchers.The Open Access version of this book, available at , has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution (CC BY)] 4.0 license. Multiscale coupling of multiphase flow and multicomponents within a deformable porous medium is complex and interdisciplinary. Chemo-physical coupled mixture theory and non-linear thermodynamics processes can be used to to derive multi-phase transport equations and mechanics.
