"Presenting a rigorous treatment of the physical and mechanical basis for the modelling of sedimentary basins, this book supplies geoscientists with practical tools for creating their own models. It begins with a thorough grounding in properties of porous media, linear elasticity, continuum mechanics and rock compressibility. Chapters on heat flow, subsidence, rheology, flexure and gravity consider sedimentary basins in the context of the Earth's lithosphere, and the book concludes with coverage of pore space cementation, compaction and fluid flow. The volume introduces basic, state-of-the-art models and demonstrates how to reproduce results using tools like MATLAB and Octave. Main equations are derived from first principles, and their basic solutions obtained and then applied. Separate notes sections supply more technical details, and the text is illustrated throughout with real-world examples, applications and test exercises. This is an accessible introduction to quantitative modelling of basins for graduate students, researchers and oil industry professionals"--Provided by publisher.
"This book is based on lecture notes about the physical processes that govern sedimentary basins. The notes were the basis for a one-semester seminar named "Heat and fluid flow in sedimentary basins" offered by UNIK, an affiliate of the University of Oslo at Kjeller. As the title suggests, this book is about the physical principles of processes in sedimentary basins like for instance heat and fluid flow. The subject is approached by deriving the basic equations from fundamental principles like mass and energy conservation. The equations are then solved for simple problems that give insight into the processes.It should be possible to reproduce most of the solutions, calculations and plots presented in the book with a modest effort and a minimum of computer facilities"--Provided by publisher.
