The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of the possibilities of using numerical techniques to study microstructures in rocks. Although wide-ranging, we cannot cover every technique that was ever applied to a microstructural problem. However we hope at least to demonstrate what is currently possible, and inspire users to investigate the field further if their particular interest is not currently met. In addition most of the numerical experiments we present may be repeated using the accompanying CD-ROM, so that the book can be used as a companion to an undergraduate or graduate level course on microstructures.
A pdf of the table of contents may be found here and the book announcement at Springer is here.
