Beschreibung

Despite of many years of studies, predicting fluid flow, heat, and chemical transport in fractured-porous media remains a challenge for scientists and engineers worldwide. This monograph is the third in a series on the dynamics of fluids and transport in fractured rock published by the American Geophysical Union (Geophysical Monograph Series, Vol. 162, 2005; and Geophysical Monograph, No. 122, 2000).  This monograph is dedicated to the late Dr. Paul Witherspoon for his seminal influence on the development of ideas and methodologies and the birth of contemporary fractured rock hydrogeology, including such fundamental and applied problems as environmental remediation; exploitation of oil, gas, and geothermal resources; disposal of spent nuclear fuel; and geotechnical engineering.

This monograph addresses fundamental and applied scientific questions and is intended to assist scientists and practitioners bridge gaps in the current scientific knowledge in the areas of theoretical fluids dynamics, field measurements, and experiments for different practical applications.  Readers of this book will include researchers, engineers, and professionals within academia, Federal agencies, and industry, as well as graduate/undergraduate students involved in theoretical, experimental, and numerical modeling studies of fluid dynamics and reactive chemical transport in the unsaturated and saturated zones, including studies pertaining to petroleum and geothermal reservoirs, environmental management and remediation, mining, gas storage, and radioactive waste isolation in underground repositories.

Volume highlights include discussions of the following:

• Fundamentals of using a complex systems approach to describe flow and transport in fractured-porous media.
• Methods of Field Measurements and Experiments
• Collective behavior and emergent properties of complex fractured rock systems
• Connection to the surrounding environment
• Multi-disciplinary research for different applications

PREFACE

Prof. Paul A. Witherspoon (1919–2012)

Even after many years of study, predicting fluid flow, heat, and chemical transport in fractured-porous media remains a challenge for scientists and engineers worldwide. This monograph is the third in a Geophysical Monograph Series on fluid and transport dynamics in fractured rock to be published by the American Geophysical Union. The first two monographs followed the Witherspoon’s Symposiums held in Berkeley, California, USA, in 1999 (Geophysical Monograph Series, Vol. 122, 2000; see http://www.agu.org/books/gm/v162/) and 2004 (Geophysical Monograph Series, Vol. 162, 2005; see http://www.agu.org/books/gm/v122/). This monograph draws primarily from the presentations given at Session H071, “Dynamics of Fluids and Transport in Fractured Porous Media,” of the Fall 2012 AGU Meeting, held in San Francisco in December 2012.

The intent of this monograph is to honor the late Dr. Paul A. Witherspoon (1919–2002), for his outstanding, lifelong contribution to the field of hydrology, and his seminal influence on the development of ideas and methodologies for contemporary fractured rock hydrogeology. His work has influenced our approaches to such fundamental and applied challenges as environmental remediation, exploitation of oil, gas, and geothermal resources, disposal of spent nuclear fuel, and geotechnical engineering. In 1957, Paul Witherspoon became Professor of the University of California at Berkeley, and in 1977 he was appointed the first Director of the newly organized Earth Sciences Division (ESD) of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).

The monograph addresses many fundamental and applied scientific questions, and in doing so may help many scientists and practitioners bridge gaps in current scientific knowledge. Specifically, the volume begins with a chapter that for the first time introduces complex systems approaches to describe flow and transport in fractured-porous media. The chapter goes on to apply this approach to the analysis of fluid dynamics and transport in fractured-porous media, based on the papers*
