Summary

THE AUTHORS DERIVE THE EQUATIONS GOVERNING THE TRANSPORTOF ENERGY AND MASS IN A POROUS MEDIUM SATURATED BY A MULTIPHASE MULTICONSTITUENT FLUID MIXTURE UNDER CONDITIONS THAT YIELD STEEP CONTINUOUS MOVING FRONTS AND ABRUPT DISCONTINUOUS MOVING PHASE-CHANGE INTERFACES. IN THESE EQUATIONS THE VOLUME FRACTIONS OF EACH PHASE, THE TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE AND CONCENTRATION, AND THE CORRESPONDING FLUXES, ARE PERMITTED TO JUMP IN VALUE ACROSS THE PHASE-CHANGE INTERFACES. AS AN EXAMPLE, THE AUTHORS SPECIALIZE THE THEORY TO THE PROBLEM OF PROPAGATION OF MELTING/FREEZING INTERFACES IN A SALT-WATER SATURATED POROUS MEDIUM FOR A COUPLED PROCESS GOVERNED BY HEAT FLOW, FLUID FLOW AND SPECIES TRANSPORT.
