Flow mechanics in porous media course was taught for the first time in China University of Petroleum (Beijing) in 2015, and has been taught for 9 rounds, with 248 undergraduates majoring in Petroleum Engineering taking the course, and the effect of the lectures is good. This course is a core course in petroleum engineering curriculum. The primary aim of the course is to present the fundamentals of the flow mechanics in porous media by combining the concepts in petrophysics and applied mathematics. The course provides students with the basic principle, theory, methods and related disciplines with flow theory in porous media. The couse will Enable students to master the basic flow laws and mathematical description methods under different flow conditions in oil and gas reservoirs, and combine them with typical engineering problems to describe the theory of flow mechanics, solve basic problems, and analyze the application of engineering problems.

The course syllabus has a clear course objective, which can support the "graduation requirements" in the undergraduate program. The course content is scientific, advanced, and reflects the advanced core theories and achievements of the disciplines and specialties. The teaching content focuses on both systematic and comprehensive knowledge, as well as meeting the requirements of petroleum engineering professional training. It emphasizes the teaching of basic theories and concepts, as well as the cultivation of students' analytical and experimental skills. It pays attention to the connection with the courses already learned and the relationship with subsequent professional courses. Through the study of this course, students are required to master the basic theory of oil and gas seepage, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent course learning of petroleum engineering and related majors.
