## Abstract A new discreteβfracture multiphase flow model developed allows incorporation of fractures in a spatially explicit fashion. It is an alternative to conventional dualβporosity, dualβpermeability models used most often to model fractured subsurface systems. The model was applied to a water

A ΓΏnite element description of uid ow through a deforming porous solid, with a hierarchical structure of pores, has been developed and implemented in the ΓΏnite element software package DIANA. 1 Several standard element types can be used for 2-D, axisymmetric and 3-D ΓΏnite deformation analysis. The h
A mathematical model is developed to simulate the drying of hygroscopic porous media and, in particular, of wood. Drying rate experiments were performed using wood specimens and a nonhygroscopic porous ceramic solid and were simulated using the appropriate version of the drying model. Calculated mod
A mixed finite element-boundary element solution for the analysis of two-dimensional flow in porous media composed of rock blocks and discrete fractures is described. The rock blocks are modelled implicitly by using boundary elements whereas finite elements are adopted to model the discrete fracture
