| Abstract: | It is proposed that the inflow to and outflow from a permeable bed be related by an integral. For vanishing fluid velocities, it is linear and its kernel is a material property characterizing the bed. Some of the properties of the kernel are considered here. The approach is particularly useful for tilted, fractured and other inhomogeneous beds, since no continuum characteristics need be assumed. The effects of nonlinearity are also discussed. |
