| Short description
In this standard reference of the field, two different approaches are discussed and contrasted with each other. The first approach is based on the classical equations of flow and transport, called 'continuum models'. The second approach is based on modern methods of statistical physics of disordered media; that is, on 'discrete models'. Based on the first edition, the completely revised book will be ideal for graduate students, also for chemical, petroleum, civil, environmental engineers, geologists, physicists and allied scientists that deal with various porous media problems.
