end of Chapter 11 (geophysical aspects). Once again we decided that, except for a brief mention, convection in unsaturated media had to be beyond the scope of this book. D.A.N.againenjoyedthehospitalityoftheDepartmentofMechanicalEngine- ing and Materials Science at Duke University while on Research and Study Leave from the University of Auckland, and both of those institutions again provided ?nancial support. We are grateful for comments from Graham Weir and Roger Young on a draft of Section 11.9, a topic on which we had much to learn. We also are grateful to a large number of people who provided us with preprints of their papers prior to publication. Other colleagues have improved our understanding of the subject of this book in ways too numerous to mention here. Once again we relied on the expertise and hard work of Linda Hayes for the preparation of the electronic version of our manuscript, and again the staff at the Engineering Library of Duke University made our search of the literature an enjoyable experience.

In this book we have tried to provide a user-friendly introduction to the topic of convection in porous media. We have assumed that the reader is conversant with the basic elements of fluid mechanics and heat transfer, but otherwise the book is self-contained. Only routine classical mathematics is employed. We hope that the book will be useful both as a review (for reference) and as a tutorial work (suitable as a textbook in a graduate course or seminar). This book brings into perspective the voluminous research that has been performed during the last two decades. The field has recently exploded because of worldwide concern with issues such as energy self-sufficiency and pollution of the environment. Areas of application include the insulation of buildings and equipment, energy storage and recovery, geothermal reservoirs, nuclear waste disposal, chemical reactor engineering, and the storage of heat-generating materials such as grain and coal. Geophysical applications range from the flow of groundwater around hot intrusions to the stability of snow against avalanches.

Papers on convection in porous media continue to be published at the rate of over 100 per year. This indication of the continued importance of the subject, together with the wide acceptance of the first edition, has encouraged us to prepare an expanded second edition. We have retained the basic structure and most of the text of the first edition. With space considerations in mind, we have been selective in our choice of references, but nevertheless there are over 600 new references. We also made an effort to highlight new conceptual developments and engineering applications. In the introductory material, we judged that Chapters 2 and 3 needed little alteration (though there is a new Section 2.6 on other approaches to the topic), but our improved understanding of the basic modeling of flow through a porous medium has led to a number of changes in Chapter 1, both within the old sections and by the addition of a section on turbulence in porous media, and a section on fractured media, deformable media, and complex porous structures. In Chapter 4, on forced convection, we have added major new sections on compact heat exchangers, on heatlines for visualizing convection, and on constructal tree networks for the geometric minimization of the resistance to volume-to-point flows in heterogeneous porous media.
