Thesis (MScEng (Mathematical Sciences. Applied Mathematics))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. === When considering flow through porous media, different flow regimes may be identified. At very small Reynolds numbers the relation between the pressure gradient and the velocity of the fluid is linear. This flow regime ...
