In this standard reference of the field, theoretical and experimental approaches to flow, hydrodynamic dispersion, and miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock are considered. Two different approaches are discussed and contrasted with each other. The first approach is based on the classical equations of flow and transport, called 2continuum models2. The second approach is based on modern methods of statistical physics of disordered media; that is, on 2discrete models2, which have become increasingly popular over the past 15 yea... MORE
