Flow and Transport in Porous Media and Fractured Rock: From Classical Methods to Modern Approaches

During this normal reference of the sector, theoretical and experimental ways to move, hydrodynamic dispersion, and miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock are thought of. various ways are mentioned and contrasted with one another. the 1st strategy relies at the classical equations of circulate and shipping, referred to as 'continuum models'.

13) Lemma. Let U ∈ R3×3 be symmetric positive definite and let V = RURt = U with R = −I + 2e ⊗ e, |e| = 1. 27) admits two solutions given by U −1 e ) , m = e, |U −1 e|2 1 2ρ U e , m = (U 2 e − |U e|2 e), a= 2 |U e| ρ a = 2(U e − where ρ > 0 is a constant chosen as to have |m| = 1. 27). 13. 27) is equivalent to finding a and m, |m| = 1, such that U −1 a, m = 0 and U 2 − V 2 = (U a − |a|2 |a|2 m) ⊗ m + m ⊗ (U a − m) . 28) Moreover, a simple calculation gives U 2 − V 2 = 2[(U 2 e − |U e|2 e) ⊗ e + e ⊗ (U 2 e − |U e|2 e)].

We mention that Friesecke has a formula for the polyconvex hull of three non-trivially rank-one connected wells of equal determinant [77]. However, the quasiconvex hull remains unknown. We conclude this section by noting that in the examples above, all the wells were assumed to have positive determinant. This is of paramount importance: if the sign of the determinants is not constant, then even in two dimensions two incompatible wells can support a non-trivial gradient Young measure, see [47]. , metals, alloys, ceramics and even biological systems).

Without loss of generality we can assume that R1 = I. We therefore base our study on the following problem: find a rotation Q ∈ SO(n) and two vectors a, m ∈ Rn×n , |m| = 1, such that U − QV = a ⊗ m. 5) where U −t = (U −1 )t = (U t )−1 . Moreover, since U and V have positive determinant, 1 − a, U −t m = det (QV U −1 ) > 0 , where ·, · denotes the Euclidean scalar product in Rn . 6) where C = U −t V t V U −1 . 6). 5). The next result is due to Ball and James [27, 28] and Khachaturyan [92]. Throughout this chapter, λ1 (ξ) ≤ .
