CVEN 673 - Transport Phenomena in Porous Media
OVERVIEW:
 In the last few years geo-engineering has expanded its domain of
intervention, particularly in the field of “Geo-environmental Engineering” and
“Energy Geo-mechanics”
This has led to study the behavior of soils and rocks under extreme and
complex conditions involving simultaneous hydraulic (both: liquid and gas),
thermal, mechanical and geochemical actions.
This course focuses on the study of the main physical and chemical phenomena,
(and their mutual interactions) that control the behavior of porous media.
The equations are presented for the general case of non-isothermal
multiphase flow and transport problems in deformable porous media. Problems
of practical interest in geo-engineering are analyzed during the course.
