Abstract: | Exact solutions for flow problems in porous media with a limiting gradient in the case when the flow region in the hodograph plane is a half-strip with a longitudinal cut 1] are known only for two models of the resistance law 2–6]. The present study gives a one-parameter family of flow laws, and argues the possibility of effective determination of exact and approximate analytical solutions on the basis of successive reduction to boundary-value problems for the Laplace equation or for the equation studied in detail in 1]. It should be noted that the characteristics of the flow are determined without additional quadratures.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 107–112, May–June, 1985. |
