Publisher's Synopsis
The conference on which this book is based was the first in a series of European meetings on the mathematical aspects of oil recovery problems. It concentrated on three main themes: The statistical description of porous media and geological environments at various length scales; the derivation of appropriate, spatially averaged equations for multiphase displacement processes; and the solution of the resulting equations by numerical methods.;This is a broad subject area with many active researchers from industry, government institutions and universities. The aim of the meeting was to bring together mathematicians and engineers to discuss common problems. These proceedings represent both the oral presentations made at the meeting and the poster presentations.
