Geological Fluid Dynamics
«All reviews are from Owen Phillips's Flow and Reactions in Permeable Rocks: '… flow through porous media is of central importance to areas of petroleum, mining, groundwater and chemical engineering. The clarity and sparkle of the presentation are such that this book deserves to become one of the standard texts in these areas ... an extremely well-written and thought-provoking book … It is likely to have considerable influence on future research.' Herbert E. Huppert, Journal of Fluid Mechanics»
This book is the long-awaited successor to Owen M. Phillips's classic textbook, Flow and Reactions in Permeable Rocks, published in 1991. In the intervening eighteen years between the two, significant advances have been made to our understanding of subterranean flow, especially through the vast amount of research into underground storage of nuclear waste and aquifer pollution.

«'… required reading for anyone interested in the field of flow through porous media and phenomena allied to, or modified by, such flows. The basic equations are spelled out very clearly, and the surrounding verbal descriptions of what is going on from a physical/chemical perspective are equally good … I could only wish that all books (including my own) could be written with such clarity of thought and word craft.' Ian Lerche, Geophysics»
«'… a truly good book that I can recommend to graduate students and researchers seriously interested in understanding rock-fluid interactions and the patterns that result.' Bernard P. Boudreau, Geochimica et Cosmochimica»
«'… will undoubtedly establish itself as a core text for both students and researchers.' Lev Truskinovsky, PAGEOPH»
«'… an excellent reference … Dr Phillips' book is unique and might become a classic … a valuable addition to the library of any research[er] or practitioner serious about the processes of flow and reaction transport in geological settings.' Geochemical News»
«'… Phillips' prose is lucid and graceful and the book is a pleasure to read … a hallmark of Dr Phillips' approach is simple physically insightful, and often analytically tractable mathematical descriptions. His arguments for relatively simple models are clearly expressed … It will definitely find a prominent place on my bookshelf as a useful guide to first-order quantitative approaches.'
