Abstract
Donald Arthur Nield died peacefully at Golden View Care, Cromwell, New Zealand, surrounded by family, on May 25, 2024, aged 89. He was the dearly loved husband of Rachel, cherished father and father-in-law of Cherry and Robert, Alex and Michael, Peter and Janice, and treasured Grandpa of Elizabeth, John, Charlotte, Frank, Rachel, and Michael. This is a scientific memoir written by D. A. Nield himself. In late March 2017 Don sent a copy of the document, below unedited, to Craig Simmons. This was in response to a discussion that Simmons had with Nield at that time when Simmons was preparing a historical note on the Elder Problem with John W. Elder. We can do no better than to publish Nield’s autobiographical note posthumously as is—in his own words. Nield himself called it “A scientific memoir.”
期刊介绍:
-Publishes original research on physical, chemical, and biological aspects of transport in porous media-
Papers on porous media research may originate in various areas of physics, chemistry, biology, natural or materials science, and engineering (chemical, civil, agricultural, petroleum, environmental, electrical, and mechanical engineering)-
Emphasizes theory, (numerical) modelling, laboratory work, and non-routine applications-
Publishes work of a fundamental nature, of interest to a wide readership, that provides novel insight into porous media processes-
Expanded in 2007 from 12 to 15 issues per year.
Transport in Porous Media publishes original research on physical and chemical aspects of transport phenomena in rigid and deformable porous media. These phenomena, occurring in single and multiphase flow in porous domains, can be governed by extensive quantities such as mass of a fluid phase, mass of component of a phase, momentum, or energy. Moreover, porous medium deformations can be induced by the transport phenomena, by chemical and electro-chemical activities such as swelling, or by external loading through forces and displacements. These porous media phenomena may be studied by researchers from various areas of physics, chemistry, biology, natural or materials science, and engineering (chemical, civil, agricultural, petroleum, environmental, electrical, and mechanical engineering).
