Hydraulic fracturing is a phenomenon in which cracks propagate through the porous medium due to high pore fluid pressure. Hydraulic fracturing appears in different engineering disciplines either as a destructive phenomenon or as a useful technique. Modeling of this phenomenon in isothermal condition requires analysis of soil deformation, crack and pore fluid pressure interactions. In this paper...

The objective of the present chapter is to analyze the radiation and mass transfer effects on an unsteady two-dimensional laminar mixed convective boundary layer flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting chemically reacting fluid, along a vertical moving semi-infinite permeable plate with suction, embedded in a uniform porous medium, in the presence of transverse magnetic field...

The effect of the microbial growth on hydraulic properties of porous media is a topic studied in the framework of many applications, e.g. oil recovery, wastewater treatment, bioremediation, etc. (see [1]). Studies on flow through porous media in presence of biomass growth are presented in the papers by Rockhold et al. [2–4]. As stated there, additional work is needed for modelling unsaturated c...
