Unter theoretischen und experimentellen Gesichtspunkten werden Fluß, hydrodynamische Dispersion, Mischphasenverdrängung in porösen Medien und 'Fractured Rock' behandelt. Dabei werden zwei verschiedene Wege der Modellbildung vorgestellt. Der erste Weg basiert auf klassischen Fluß- und Transportgleichungen, 'Kontinuumsmodelle' genannt. Der zweite Weg basiert auf modernen Methoden aus der statistischen Physik ungeordneter Materie, d.h. auf 'diskreten Modellen', welche in den letzten fünfzehn Jahren immer populärer wurden. Dies, die Berücksichtigung aller wichtigen Aspekte poröser Medien und die Behandlung von 'Fractured Rock' in einem machen das Buch konkurrenzlos. In Teilen ist es bereits für Studenten höherer Semester geeignet. Ideal ist es für Doktoranden, außerdem für Chemie-, Petrochemie-, Bau- und Umweltingenieure, für Geologen, Physiker und alle Wissenschaftler, die sich mit porösen Medien beschäftigen.
