Preface
In the last decade and in particular in recent years, the macroscopic porous
media theory has made decisive progress concerning the fundamentals and
the development of mathematical models in various fields of engineering and
biomechanics. This progress attracted some attention and therefore conferences
(colloquia, symposia, etc) devoted almost exclusively to the macroscopic porous
media theory have anized in the last years, ., in Cambridge, United
Kingdom (1996), Prague, the Czech Republic (1997), Essen, Germany (1997),
Metz, France (1999), Stuttgart, Germany (1999), Chicago, USA (2000), and
