Summary:

Directed toward those in the mining and petroleum industries, this text by Indraratna (civil engineering, U. of Wollongong, Australia) and Pathegama (civil engineering, Nanyang Technological U., Singapore) gives the background to the hydromechanics of single- and two-phase flows with associated theories, mathematical and semi-empirical models, providing a follow-up to Indraratna's earlier volume Shear behavior of rock joints (with A. Haque). The volume includes a full description of the high pressure, two-phase triaxial equipment used in the five-year research project, which was industry-funded, and a new mathematical model for two-phase flows. c.
