3F250 Transport in Porous Media 3 ECTS<br />
Lecturer:<br />
Dr. Leo Pel<br />
Objectives<br />
This course is a first introduction and provides a basic theoretical background for<br />
modelling transport phenomena engaged in various engineering projects. Subjects are:<br />
porosity, capillary pressure, permeability, transport in saturated materials, absorption and<br />
drying, oil/water transport, moisture and ion transport.<br />
Contents<br />
The transport of, e.g., water, oil in porous media is studied in various disciplines, e.g.,<br />
civil engineering, building physics, chemical engineering, reservoir engineering and soil<br />
science. In all these disciplines, problems are encountered in mass and heat are<br />
transported through a porous material. In these disciplines many models have been<br />
develop to describe the transport processes in porous media. It is beyond the scope of this<br />
course to go into the details of these various theories. This course is a first introduction<br />
and provides a basic theoretical background for modelling transport phenomena engaged<br />
in various engineering projects The discussion in this course will be limited to the<br />
transport in the isothermal situations.<br />
Subjects are: porosity, capillary pressure, permeability, transport in saturated materials,<br />
absorption and drying, oil/water transport, moisture and ion transport.
