Flow and Transport in Porous Media and Fractured Rock: From Classical Methods to Modern Approaches
During this general reference of the sector, theoretical and experimental techniques to move, hydrodynamic dispersion, and miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock are thought of. varied ways are mentioned and contrasted with one another. the 1st method is predicated at the classical equations of movement and shipping, referred to as 'continuum models'.

The conditional period a n d the logarithmic decrement of the oscillations are determined by the properties of the system; the phase a n d amplitude, however, r e m a i n arbitrary a n d are determined by the initial conditions. 2. e. t o constructing its " p o r t r a i t " , representing the totality of all possible m o t i o n s . 6), we can find the equation of the family of phase p a t h s . 26) We shall show t h a t this is a family of spirals having an asymptotic point at the origin of t h e coordinates.
The region III of Fig. 25 corresponds to initial values leading to such a type of m o t i o n . The relation between the character of the m o t i o n a n d the initial conditions can be represented graphically in another form also, by showing the dependence of the m o t i o n u p o n time for all three cases /*, 77 and III. This has been done in Fig. 26 where it is assumed t h a t in all cases the initial displacement x 0 > 0 . 5. Representation of an aperiodic process on the phase plane Let us pass n o w t o the investigation of the phase p a t h s o n the phase plane x, y (y=x).
