Dynamics of Fluids in Porous Media

by Jacob Bear

Book Overview

This classic work by one of the world's foremost hydrologists presents a topic encountered in the many fields of science and engineering where flow through porous media plays a fundamental role. It is the standard work in the field, designed primarily for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of ground water hydrology, soil mechanics, soil physics, drainage and irrigation engineering, and petroleum and chemical engineering. It is highly...

Useful for water practitioner

Other reviewers already cover about how important is this book for hydrogeologist. Although this book is more theoretical, but it is also important for water practitioner. This contains theories behind the groundwater model that many practitioners use. If you get this book, why stop there. Get the other book by Bear "Hydraulics of Groundwater".

An exceptional resource. Well written and thorough. Even includes mathematical techniques for solving classes of PDEs relating to porous flow.

Dynamics of Fluids in Porous Media

You may never need any other text other than this one. This is a comprehensive text covering everything from defining and classifying aquifers to fluid transport, continuity and conservation, boundary-value problems, flow of immiscible fluids and heat and mass transport. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know the basics and beyond.

The Classic.

The definitive, classic text on the subject
