This review is from: Fluid Transport in Porous Media (Advances in Fluid Mechanics) (Hardcover)

This book contains usefull descriptions of the governing equations for the fluid flow in porous medium, especially chapter 1 (written by Whitaker). This chapter presents the complete derivation of the equations based on the volume average procedure. The others chapters are not so good, but also present some usefull information for researchers interested in modelling porous media flows. Particularly the last chapter, which presents a comprehensive review on numerical methods for porous media. Overall, it is possible to say that it is a good book, and if you are interested in modelling porous media flows it is worth to buy it.
