Multiphase Flows in Deformable Geomaterials - Chemo-Physical Coupled Mixture Theory and Non-Linear Thermodynamics

Multiscale coupling of multiphase flow and multicomponents within a deformable porous medium is complex and interdisciplinary. Chemo-physical coupled mixture theory and non-linear thermodynamics processes can be used to to derive multi-phase transport equations and mechanics. This book is particularly addressed to geoengineering.
