A Method for Computing Unsteady Flows in Porous Media

This volume is self-contained and concise, providing a basis to study unsteady flow in saturated porous media. It provides for the development of algorithms that examine three-dimensional flows subject to complicated boundary conditions that are a natural consequence of flow in geological systems. A new way to understand flow in porous media is presented. The authors pay close attention to computational considerations, and options for developing codes are addressed. Chapter topics include general theory, the initial-boundary-value problem, treatment of extraction points, computational considerations, flow in fissured and layered porous media. The volume includes a glossary, an appendix covering fundamental solution for slab reservoirs, and index.
