Abstract

Although a fluid obeys locally the Navier-Stokes equations, flow in a porous medium is a very complex problem to solve. Residence time distributions (R.T.D.) E(t) provide an alternative method. We assume the following simplifying assumptions:

  • The porous medium has only one entrance and one exit, without any leak.

  • The flow is steady, isothermal, without any dilation, it is unidirectional in a constant cross-section.
