Abstract: | A model of the variation in capillary conductivity is proposed. The change in the permeability of an inhomogeneous medium under load is investigated on the basis of the percolation model 3] and is numerically modeled for cases of hydrostatic compression and nonisotropic loading. The validity of the percolation approach to the determination of the change in flow properties under load is demonstrated.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 67–75, January–February, 1986. |
