Summary:

Here in one volume is summarized a vast amount of information on the physical principles of hydrodynamics in porous media, gathered from numerous publications. This new edition represents a substantial revision of the second, incorporating the most recent developments in the field. Alterations have been made throughout, new sections have been added, and the chapter on 'Miscible Displacement' has been rewritten. As in previous editions, the stress is on general physical aspects of phenomena rather than on particular cases, on theoretical rather than experimental aspects have been emphasized. Literature references have been chosen carefully to lead the reader to the most useful sources of additional information on particular aspects.
