Abstract
Porous media saturated with gases or fluids can be described by the method of continuum mechanics if the sizes of all elements of microstructure such as pores and cracks — that is, if fluid channels in a solid matrix, fluid drops and gas bubbles are much less than the average scale of space, which is equal to the linear dimension of an elementary (differential) volume of the medium. It is also assumed that every differential volume has a complete statistical ensemble of micro-elements and the macroscale of the considered object (problem) is much more than dimensions of the elementary volume [156].
