Abstract
In this chapter we discuss the finite-element computation of heat (thermal energy) transport in porous media. Nonisothermal porous-medium processes can be found in many areas of application to natural and engineered systems, for instance exploitation of geothermal reservoirs as a viable and renewable source of energy, underground energy storage and recovery for heating and cooling purposes, waste disposal of heat-generating materials, chemical reactor engineering, insulation of buildings, material technology and many others. Modern industrial developments have expanded significantly the fields, where numerical simulation is required as a powerful tool to aid the design and operation of equipments.
