OSTI ID:6811035

This book is an outgrowth of a graduate course on solving problems in reservoir mechanics with the aid of electronic digital computers. The ten chapters cover: number systems, programming electronic digital computers, problem-oriented language, selected topics from numerical mathematical analysis, empirical equations, development of basic equations for the flow of fluids through porous media, steady state flow of fluids and gases through porous media, unsteady state flow of fluids and gases in porous media, classical methods for fluid flow through porous media, and Fortran programs and examples.
