Opis

Building on the success of T.J.T. Spanos's previous book The Thermophysics of Porous Media, this book explains non-linear field theory by describing the physical processes associated with the interaction of the various phases at the macroscale and how these interactions give rise to additional physical processes at the megascale.

O autorze

Many of the predictions of the physical theory that T.J.T. Spanos has worked on over the past 35+ years have been used to construct commercial technologies. Porosity waves have been successfully implemented in enhanced oil recovery, workovers, ground water remediation and chemical placement. This work has lead to numerous industrial patents and in collaboration with Brett Davidson to the establishment of Wavefront Technology Solutions which has developed and marketed these commercial applications. T.J.T. Spanos holds a number of patents and has published his research in numerous journals and books. Following his career in academia, Norman Udeyoccupied a number of roles in industry, culminating in his role as Physicists for Wavefront Technology Solutions Inc.
