多孔介質(zhì)中的輸運發(fā)表了有關(guān)大量輸運的物理和化學(xué)方面的原始研究，如流體相質(zhì)量、相組分質(zhì)量、動量和能量，在（可能變形的）多孔介質(zhì)域中的單相和多相流中。這些都是在化學(xué)，民用，農(nóng)業(yè)，石油和機械工程的背景下提出的。從微觀尺度向上理解的輸運現(xiàn)象形成了描述這些現(xiàn)象的確定性和隨機模型的基礎(chǔ)。該模型適用于描述含水層中的流動和污染物輸送；石油儲層中的油氣運動；溶劑驅(qū)動和提高石油采收率；化學(xué)工程中填充床反應(yīng)器、地熱儲層和建筑材料中的熱量和質(zhì)量輸送；放射性廢物庫中污染物的擴散；肺和其他器官中液體和化學(xué)轉(zhuǎn)運的過濾過程和生物醫(yī)學(xué)研究。

Transport in Porous Media publishes original research on the physical and chemical aspects of transport of extensive quantities such as mass of a fluid phase, mass of a component of a phase, momentum and energy, in single and multiphase flow in a (possibly deformable) porous medium domain. These are presented in the context of chemical, civil, agricultural, petroleum and mechanical engineering.Transport phenomena, understood from the microscopic scale upward, form the basis for deterministic and stochastic models that describe them. The models are adaptable to describe flow and contaminant transport in aquifers; oil and gas movement in petroleum reservoirs; solvent drives and enhanced oil recovery; heat and mass transport in packed bed reactors in chemical engineering, in geothermal reservoirs and in building materials; spread of pollutants from radioactive waste repositories; filtration processes, and biomedical studies of fluid and chemical transport in lungs and other organs.
