Flow in porous media

  • Conference paper
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics

Part of the book series: IUTAM Symposia ((IUTAM))

Abstract

The problems of flow and transport in porous media present many fascinating challenges to students of mechanics: and it is surprising that, over the years, these questions have received relatively little attention at the Congresses and Symposia of IUTAM and of its predecessors. The 1964 Grenoble Symposium (Kravtchenko and Sirieys 1966) touched on certain special aspects and the 1966 Vienna Symposia (Parkus and Sedov 1968) had some relevance; but the first specific involvement of the Union with flow in porous media was a useful but limited meeting, sponsored jointly by IUTAM and IUGG, at Calgary in 1971.
