Fluid Flow in Porous Media

PETE 645 - Fluid Flow in Porous Media (3-0-3)

Advanced concepts in flow of fluids through porous media are introduced. The course introduces the students to mathematical concepts that are indispensable in any advanced course on fluid flow. Other topics covered include single-phase flow, two-phase flow, transport of contaminants in porous media, flow of fluids in free-flow regions, modeling two-dimensional flows with streamlines; and non-isothermal flow of fluids in porous media.
