Fluid and flow problems in porous media have attracted the attention of industrialists, engineers and scientists from varying disciplines, such as chemical, environmental, and mechanical engineering, geothermal physics and food science. There has been a increasing interest in heat and fluid flows through porous media, making this book a timely and appropriate resource. <p/>Each chapter is systematically detailed to be easily grasped by a research worker with basic knowledge of fluid mechanics, heat transfer and computational and experimental methods. At the same time, the readers will be informed of the most recent research literature in the field, giving it dual usage as both a post-grad text book and professional reference. <p/>Written by the recent directors of the NATO Advanced Study Institute session on 'Emerging Technologies and Techniques in Porous Media' (June 2003), this book is a timely and essential reference for scientists and engineers within a variety of fields.<br>Department of Applied Mathematics, Ingham Centre for Computational Fluid Dynamics, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK<br>Ioan Pop is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at Babes-Bolyai University, Romania. He has more than 50 years' experience of research in fields including fluid mechanics and heat transfer with application to boundary layer theory, heat transfer in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, magnetohydrodynamics, and convective flow in fluid-saturated porous media. In his career he has co-supervised more than 20 phd students, written 10 books, and co-authored over 850 research journal papers. He is the Director of the Centre for Excellence in Mechanics of the Romanian National Research Council, and serves on the editorial boards of 14 international scholarly journals, and has served on the organizing committee of over 27 conferences.<br>
