ENEN 623 - Flow Through Porous Media

[3]

The course presents the fundamental theories of fluid flow dynamics through porous media, which are applicable to many disciplines of science and engineering. Students will learn to identify key features of porous media and their physico-chemical properties, represent the features mechanistically, identify their associated fluid transport processes, derive conservation equations for the processes and solve the equations. Both analytical and numerical solution techniques for saturated and unsaturated flow equations and their applications to engineering problems are introduced.
