Modified Darcy laws for conducting porous media (Q1764945)

This paper examines the effect of a magnetic field on the filtration law for porous media when a modified Darcy law is used into which has been introduced the effect of the Lorenz force. The main result is to show that the electrokinetic coefficient is inversely proportional to the product of the density and the potential stream coefficient, though while this coefficient is shown to be dependent on the viscosity, it is not found to depend on the permeability.
