Modelling water flow in unsaturated porous media accounting for nonlinear permeability and material heterogeneity /

The book focuses on two issues related to mathematical and numerical modelling of flow in unsaturated porous media. In the first part numerical solution of the governing equations is discussed, with particular emphasis on the spatial discretization of highly nonlinear permeability coefficient. The s...
