Introduction.

Some processes are complex, as non stationary flow, mass transport, heat transfer, vibrating, subsidence, waving, deformations, consolidations, earthquakes and other geodynamics, reservoir engineering [1][14][16] Their complexity depend on their random mechanical, physical, chemical etc parameters, relations between them, their risk state etc.. Several processes could be deterministic, other ones stochastic, several could be studded "separately and independently" as the simple heat conduction, one phase fluid flow in porous medium etc.
