FEFLOW: Finite Element Modeling of Flow, Mass and Heat Transport in Porous and Fractured MediaThe comprehensive book "FEFLOW - Finite Element Modeling of Flow, Mass and Heat Transport in Porous and Fractured Media" written by H.J. G. Diersch is now published by Springer.

It represents a theoretical textbook and covers a wide range of physical and computational issues in the field of porous/fractured-media modeling. The book starts with a more general theory for all relevant flow and transport phenomena on the basis of the continuum approach, systematically develops the basic framework for important classes of problems (e.g., multiphase/multispecies non-isothermal flow and transport phenomena, variably saturated porous media, free-surface groundwater flow, aquifer-averaged equations, discrete feature elements), introduces finite element techniques for solving the basic multidimensional balance equations, in detail discusses advanced numerical algorithms for the resulting nonlinear and linear problems, and completes with a number of benchmarks, applications and exercises to illustrate the different types of flow, mass and heat transport problems (e.g., subsurface flow and seepage problems, unsaturated-saturated flow, advective-diffusion transport, saltwater intrusion, geothermal and thermohaline flow).

The book is general and will be useful for both students and practitioners in engineering and geosciences as well as in other fields where porous-media flow dynamics and computational methods are of specific concern.
