Author Description

This volume draws together a wide range of up-to-date research in the mathematics of oil recovery operations. It concentrates on three main themes: the statistical description of porous media and geological environments at various length scales; the derivation of appropriate, spatially averaged equations for multiphase displacement processes; and the solution of the resulting equations by numerical methods. The book serves as a valuable reference for the many researchers in this field working in industry, government institutions, and universities.
