Flow and Transport Phenomena in Geological Media

This volume of the Processes in Geomedia series examines processes occurring in geological media and provides an overview of research on modeling and experimental simulations. The text begins by addressing flow and transport phenomena occurring in geological media, with particular attention to fluid-structure interactions and couplings. The second part of the book discusses processes related to multi-phase flow and deformation in geological media, including the formation and evolution of geological structures and the generation of fluid-driven seismicity. The authors present a broad spectrum of modeling techniques, ranging from continuum-based finite-element methods to discrete element methods and particle-based methods, including detailed discussions of numerical methods and their respective advantages and limitations. The final chapter examines the use of experimental techniques for the study of processes in geological media, including rock physics, fault mechanics, and multi-phase flow experiments.
