Good Book of Porous Media

This book provide a good review of literatura, and a discussion about main concepts of porous media.

Great

Nield has the best understanding of porous media analysis. He is a prolofic writer and contributor to the field and is most qualified to write this comprehensive text.

good book; ~1/4 of content is REFERENCES.

This is a good book, but it is written very much like a really long paper, rather than a book for teaching a subject to someone new in a field. 150 of the 640 pages are references (23% of the book!); it seems like they cited every paper ever published in the field.

Outstanding book - reviewed by Prof. P. Vadasz

This is the best reference book available on Convection in Porous Media. It features the wide variety of topics that are encountered in this filed. The basic phenomena are well described and good references to state of the art research are being cited. A very easy to follow text and derivations make the reading a pleasure, but the book serves mainly as an excellent reference. Anyone who works in fluid mechanics and heat transfer in porous media should have a copy of this book.

This book provides a user-friendly introduction to convection in porous media, such as fibrous insulation, geological strata, and catalytic reactors. The presentation is self-contained, requiring only routine classical mathematics and the basic elements of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. It will thus be of use not only to researchers and practicing engineers as a review and reference, but also to graduate students and others just entering the field.

The Third Edition includes nearly 1000 new references and covers: convection in deforming porous media, "designed" porous media, the theory of deformable media, modeling viscous dissipation in hyperporous media, and more.
