This book introduces the reader to the field of the physics of processes occurring in porous media. It gives brief overviews of topics such as thermodynamics, capillarity and fluid mechanics in order to launch the reader smoothly into the realm of porous media. In-depth discussions are given of phase-change phenomena in porous media, single-phase flow, unsaturated flow and multiphase flow. In order to make the topics concrete, the book contains numerous example calculations. Experimental data is available to quantify phenomena throughout.
