DARCYS LAW---150 years old (1856--2006)
Wed, Aug 27, 2008 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Prof. Jacob Bear,
Technion—Israel Institute of Technology
Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Haifa, IsraelAbstractThe objective of this presentation is to celebrate the 150th birthday of Darcy's Law (1856), and to use this opportunity for stock-taking: what have we—researchers and practitioners who use this law in various disciplines--achieved since Darcy's introduction of this law, and where should we go now, in view of the needs to solve problems.We'll start with a few words about Henry Darcy, his life and his scientific and professional contributions; we'll talk about his law, and its extension beyond the original experimentally-based law, and we'll mention other forms of the motion equations for cases for which Darcy's law is not valid. We'll review extensions of Darcy's motion equation to multiple phases. We'll review approaches leading to the porous medium envisioned as a continuum, and the principles underlying the description of flow and transport phenomena by well-posed mathematical models.Finally, we'll try to indicate knowledge gaps, as indicated by the need to solve problems of practical interest.Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - 209
