In recent years, we have strived to extend SPT to fluids confined in a variety of random porous matrices. In this article, we present a timely review of these developments. We have endeavored to present a formulation that is pedagogically more accessible than those presented in various original papers, and we hope this benefits newcomers in their research work. We also use more consistent notations for different cases. In addition, we discuss issues that have been scarcely considered in the literature, e.g., the one-fluid structure of SPT due to the isomorphism between the equation of state for a multicomponent fluid and that for a one-component fluid or the pure-confinement scaling relation that provides a connection between a confined and a bulk fluid.展开更多
