Vafai K. Handbook of Porous Media

Second edition. Taylor & Francis Group, LLC USA. 2005 — 727 p.This book describes recent theoretical and applied researchs in flow, heat, and mass transfer in porous media
Theoretical and applied research in flow, heat, and mass transfer in porous media has received increased attention during the past three decades. This s due to the importance of this research area in many engineering applications. Significant advances have been made in modeling fluid flow, heat, and mass transfer through a porous medium including clarification of several mportant physical phenomena. For example, the non-Darcy effects on momentum, energy, and mass transport in porous media have been studied in depth for various geometrical configurations and boundary conditions. Many of the research works in porous media for the past couple of decades utilize what is now commonly known as the Brinkman–Forchheimer-extended Darcy or the generalized model.General Characteristics and Modelingof Porous Media
