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.
