Non Fickian Solute Transport (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781632403872)

This research-based book provides a mathematical approach based on stochastic calculus which describes state-of-the-art information regarding porous media science and engineering - prediction of dispersivity from covariance of hydraulic conductivity (velocity). The complication is of great significance for tracer examination, for improved recovery by injection of miscible gases, etc. The book elucidates a generalized mathematical model and efficient numerical methodologies that may greatly affect the stochastic porous media hydrodynamics. It begins with a descriptive basic analysis of the complication of scale dependence of the dispersion coefficient in porous media. Furthermore, relevant topics of stochastic calculus which would be helpful in modeling are discussed subsequently. An in-depth elaborative discussion regarding the development of a generalized stochastic solute transport model for any provided velocity covariance without conferring to fickian expectations from laboratory scale to field scale is also illustrated in this book. The mathematical approaches described in this book will serve as useful solutions for several other complications associated with chemical dispersion in porous media.
