Review: This book presents the mathematical underpinnings that represent the deformation, flow and transport behaviour of porous and porous-fractured media, as an analogue for geologic media. It covers the fundamental principles and analytical approaches that may be applied in representing the coupled interaction of deformation, flow and transport, in porous and fractured media. The treatment of coupled processes emphasize the coupling and feedbacks presented where solid deformation, fluid flow, and solute transport combine, and represent heterogeneous media through multi-porosity approaches. Analytical and numerical solutions are presented for subsurface systems subjected to varying mechanical, thermal and chemical disturbances.
