PEEG 730 Fluid Flow and Transport Processes in Porous Media

This is a graduate engineering course Ph.D. level in fluid flow and transport processes in porous media. The course covers both theory and practice of Fundamentals Fluid Flow and Transport Processes in Porous Media and students should be able to see the linkage and relevance of their understanding of reservoir engineering and evaluation in field applications. We study mass, momentum and energy transport in single- and multiphase flow in porous media. Emphasis is placed on use of classical methods for describing these processes on a fluid-fluid and fluid-rock basis. Surface and interfacial phenomena are also presented. Application of theory to various problems in petroleum engineering and groundwater hydrology are emphasized.
