Statistical models of flow through porous media

  • Published:
pure and applied geophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The paper reviews the models which have been advocated in the literature for the description of flow through porous media. Special emphasis is placed on statistical models which aim at a theoretical explanation of the occurrence of dispersive effects. These models are a random walk model and new random-topology models.
