This volume is based on the 1998 Second International Symposium on Computer Methods for Engineering in Porous Media. The selected contributions provide evidence that computer-based models and in particular numerical methods are essential tools for the solution of many problems encountered in the field of flow and transport in porous media. The range of subject areas presented includes numerical methods, mass transport and heat transfer and simulation studies. Computational Methods for Flow and Transport in Porous Media also details the applications of numerical techniques applied to inverse...

Porous media, and especially phenomena of transport in such materials, are an impor1ant field of interest for geologists, hydrogeologists, researchers in soil and fluid mechanics, petroleum and chemical engineers, physicists and scientists in many other disciplines. The development of better numerical simulation techniques in combination with the enormous expansion of computer tools, have enabled numerical simulation of transport phenomena (mass of phases and components, energy etc. ) in porous domains of interest. Before any practical application of the results of such simulations can be...
