| Abstract: | The problem of averaging three-component media consisting of rigid grains, a viscous or elastic deformable meterial occupying the intergranular gaps and an inviscid pore liquid (or gas) is examined. When the deformable material completely fills the gaps, the medium is reduced to two-component form. The volume of the interlayers is comparable with the volume of the grains (the grains are spherical and the distance between the nearest points on neighboring spheres is small as compared with the diameter).Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 74–81, May–June, 1990. |
