Numerical Methods in Porous Media

This book serves as a practical guide to using numerical methods with MATLAB®/Python implementation for simulating fluid flow and transport in porous media, covering the fundamentals and their application in a way that is easy to understand for those without a technical background. In addition, it covers the governing equations of fluid mechanics and heat transfer, boundary conditions and initial conditions, dimensional analysis and scaling laws, and analytical and numerical methods for solving fluid flow and heat transfer problems.

• Provides a comprehensive introduction to numerical methods for simulating fluid flow and transport in porous media.
• Examines numerical methods and their implementation in porous media simulations using MATLAB® and Python.
• Explains the applications for numerical methods in porous media, including transport, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics.
