The concept of tortuosity is used to characterize the structure of porous media, to estimate their electrical and hydraulic conductivity, and to study the travel time and length for tracer …
Electrical transport properties of saturated porous media, such as soils, rocks and fractured networks, typically composed of a non-conductive solid matrix and a conductive brine in the …
This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport, and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …
Over the past two decades percolation theory has been used to explain and model a wide variety of phenomena that are of industrial and scientific importance. Examples include …
B Berkowitz - Advances in water resources, 2002 - Elsevier
We analyze measurements, conceptual pictures, and mathematical models of flow and transport phenomena in fractured rock systems. Fractures and fracture networks are key …
MJ Blunt - Current opinion in colloid & interface science, 2001 - Elsevier
In the last 3 years there has been a huge increase in the use of pore-scale modeling to study multiphase flow and transport in porous media. Starting from single pore models of fluid …

The most common method for in situ assessment of soil salinity, namely the electrical conductivity (EC) of the soil solution (ECw), is to measure the apparent electrical conductivity …
Pore-network models have been used to describe a wide range of properties from capillary pressure characteristics to interfacial area and mass transfer coefficients. The void space of …
AG Hunt, M Sahimi - Reviews of Geophysics, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We describe the most important developments in the application of three theoretical tools to modeling of the morphology of porous media and flow and transport processes in them. One …
