Homework Statement
Using Darcy’s law, plus another appropriate relationship, derive a
single equation for the pressure distribution in a porous material. Your equation should be stated in
terms of generic operators (i.e. without assuming any specific coordinate system) and allow for the
fact that the permeability K may vary with position, although you can assume that μ is constant.
Homework Equations
Darcy's Law: μ = -K/μ ∇ρ
Where the fluid velocity vector and the pressure are denoted by μ and p, respectively, K is known as the
permeability (which is a property only of the porous material), and μ is the flowing fluid’s dynamic
viscosity.
The Attempt at a Solution
I attempted to create a modified equation using darcy's and navier-stokes but can't seem to put all the pieces together. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
