Description

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

Formula(s) and Quantities

$\begin{array}{c}{v}^{pm}=-K{\mu }^{-1}\mathrm{\nabla }{p}^{vm}\\ \mathrm{\nabla }\cdot v^{pm}=0\end{array}$

$K$ represents fluid intrinsic permeability (porous medium)

$\mu$ represents fluid dynamic viscosity (porous medium)

$p^{pm}$ represents fluid pressure (porous medium)

$v^{pm}$ represents fluid velocity (porous medium)
