Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This book provides a systematic treatment of the geometrical and transport properties of fractures, fracture networks, and fractured porous media.
It is divided into two major parts. The first part deals with geometry of individual fractures and of fracture networks. The use of the dimensionless density rationalizes the results for the percolation threshold of the networks. It presents the crucial advantage of grouping the numerical data for various fracture shapes.
The second part deals mainly with permeability under steady conditions of fractures, fracture networks, and fractured porous media. Again the results for various types of networks can be rationalized by means of the dimensionless density. A chapter is dedicated to two phase flow in fractured porous media.
`This is a timely book that highlights recent developments in the understanding of flow and transport in fractured media by one of the leading groups in this field. The book is written in a particularly engaging style that makes it easy to follow and is a useful reference for students and researchers in this area.
The topic itself is exceptionally important, with fractured reservoirs containing at least half the world's reserves of conventional oil, the possible use of fractured bedrock for nuclear waste storage, as well as applications in contaminant transport and carbon dioxide storage.'
