Abstract

We mean by a porous medium a material consisting of a solid matrix with an interconnected void and the solid matrix can be either rigid (the usual configuration) or it undergoes small deformation. The interconnectedness of the void (pores) allows the flow of one, or more, fluids through the material. In the simplest situation, i.e. ‘single-phase flow’, the void is saturated by a single fluid, whereas in ‘two-phase flow’ two fluids share the void space. Examples of natural porous media are sandstone, wood, limestone, etc.
