Stability and Wave Motion in Porous Media (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This book presents an account of theories of flow in porous media which have proved tractable to analysis and computation. In particular, the theories of Darcy, Brinkman, and Forchheimer are presented and analysed in detail. In addition, the theory of voids in an elastic material due to Cowin and Nunziato is discussed. The range of validity of each theory is outlined and the mathematical properties are considered. The questions of structural stability, where the stability of the model itself is under consideration, and spatial stability are investigated. Applications to a variety of problems in porous media are included. This book is intended for graduate students and researchers in the mechanics, physics and engineering fields.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"It offers an original approach to this multifaceted subject, not only because of the emphasis it puts on the stability issue, but also because of the exceptional variety of the problems addressed. ... this is a highly recommendable book. People having already some knowledge of flows in porous media will be delighted to read it, and beginners will find a valuable guide to understanding many challenging problems, treated with mathematical rigour, but never forgetting the physics." (Antonio Fasano, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 e)

"It could be used in a seminar where graduate students are asked to research and present detailed arguments for select problems which are only formulated by Straughan or maybe only briefly outlined. As a research text, it surveys a great many interesting problems and applications ... with proper acknowledgment of and direction to the appropriate sources of the models and analysis. Thus, this text should be a valuable resource for anybody working on problems in the porous media field." (Philip W. Schaefer, SIAM Review, Vol. 54 (2), 2012)
