A general numerical model developed to simulate the time-dependent changes of moisture content, temperature and pore pressures is proposed for a porous material. The model is based on a coupled heat and mass transfer mathematical formulation. The model's validation is conducted using experimental da

✦ Synopsis
This paper is concerned with the mathematical study of a model describing the liquid᎐vapour phase change in porous media. Existence and uniqueness of equilibria for the stationary problem are proved. Linear and nonlinear stability results are obtained. In the one space dimensional case the global existence and uniqueness of the solution for arbitrary initial data are also proved.

## Abstract A new model for thermal dispersion is proposed based on the character of flow in porous media which relates the dispersion with the velocity and the tortuosity of fluid flow in the pores. Compared with former similar models, this one has fewer adjustable empirical constants, and therefo
Little quantitative, experimental pore-scale information exists regarding nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) ganglia undergoing dissolution in porous media. By using refractive index matched fluids and porous media, we have been able to nonintrusively visualize NAPL dissolution (at constant capillary nu
