Modeling Density-Driven Flow in Porous Media

Beschreibung

Modeling of flow and transport in groundwater has become an important focus of scientific research in recent years. Most contributions to this subject deal with flow situations, where density and viscosity changes in the fluid are neglected. This restriction may not always be justified. The models presented in the book demonstrate immpressingly that the flow pattern may be completely different when density changes are taken into account. The main applications of the models are: thermal and saline convection, geothermal flow, saltwater intrusion, flow through salt formations etc. This book not only presents basic theory, but the reader can also test his knowledge by applying the included software and can set up own models.

This publication deals not only with flow situations, but also with density and viscosity changes in the fluid itself
This book includes: basic principles of flow and transport in porous media; basic concepts of modeling variable density flow; models for practical application.
The software can be used to set up transient or steady-state models for porous media flow.
