Description

mathematical model describing the flow of a fluid through a porous medium.

Formula(s) and Quantities

$\begin{matrix} v^{p m} = - K μ^{- 1} \nabla p^{v m} \\ \nabla \cdot v^{p m} = 0 \end{matrix}$
$K$ represents fluid intrinsic permeability (porous medium)
$μ$ represents fluid dynamic viscosity (porous medium)
$p^{p m}$ represents fluid pressure (porous medium)
$v^{p m}$ represents fluid velocity (porous medium)
