Description
Questions which confront engineers in their daily practice, such as how two or three fluid phases move together, and what relationships exist between flows in porous and fractured materials, lead to difficult mathematical problems which can be explored and developed. Mathematical and computational advances increase the practitioner's understanding and increase hopes of better efficiency and lower costs for oil and gas production. Based on the proceedings of a conference organized by the IMA, held in Cambridge in July 1987, this book covers recent developments in non-linear mathematics and electronic computers which have led to substantial advances in the field of fluid mechanics and related transport phenomena.
