A porous medium is composed of a solid matrix and itsgeometrical complement: the pore space. This pore
space can be occupied by one or more fluids. The understanding oftransport phenomena in porous media is a challenging intellectualtask. This book provides a detailed analysis of the aspectsrequired for the understanding of many experimental techniques inthe field of porous media transport phenomena. It is aimed atstudents or engineers who may not be looking specifically to becometheoreticians in porous media, but wish to integrate knowledge ofporous media with their previous scientific culture, or who mayhave encountered them when
dealing with a technological problem. While avoiding thedetails of the more mathematical and abstract developments of thetheories of macroscopization, the author gives as accurate andrigorous an idea as possible
of the methods used to establish the major laws of macroscopicbehavior in porous media. He also illustrates the constitutive lawsand equations by demonstrating some of their classicalapplications. Priority is to put forward
the constitutive laws in concrete circumstances without going intotechnical detail.
This first volume in the three-volume series focuses on fluidsin equilibrium in the pore space; interfaces, the equilibriumof solutions and freezing in porous media; and gives experimentalinvestigations of capillary
behavior and porometry, and sorption and porometry.
