Deploying state-of-the-art modeling techniques, this volume explores the full spectrum of topics related to transport in porous media, from single and multi phase flows in differing structures to experimental validation and specific technological applications.

Collating the best recent research on the topic, this volume presents a new durability approach for historic buildings and aims to systematize and disseminate the latest knowledge related to construction pathology, hygrothermal behavior and durability.

This book details new developments in the field of durability, service life prediction methodologies, the durability approach for historical and old buildings, asset and maintenance management and the durability of materials, systems and components.

The subject of this book is to study the porous media and the transport processes occur there. As a first step, the authors discuss several techniques for artificial representation of porous. Afterwards, they describe the single and multi phase flows in simplistic and complex porous structures in terms of macroscopic and microscopic equations as well as of their analytical and numerical solutions. Furthermore, macroscopic quantities such as permeability are introduced and reviewed. The book also discusses with mass transport processes in the porous media which are further strengthen by...
