Flow in porous media I: A theoretical derivation of Darcy's law
TL;DR: In this article, the Brinkman correction is used to accommodate ano slip condition at an interface between a porous medium and a bounding solid surface, and the analysis clearly indicates why the Brimmerman correction should not be used to adjust the slip condition.

The method of volume averaging
Stephen Whitaker
- 01 Jan 1999
TL;DR: In this article, a single-phase flow in homogeneous Porous Media is described. But the single phase flow is not a single phase of the Darcy's Law. But it is a phase of a single flow in a two-phase system.

Forced convection heat transfer correlations for flow in pipes, past flat plates, single cylinders, single spheres, and for flow in packed beds and tube bundles
TL;DR: In this paper, the Nusselt number for a wide range of packing materials and tube arrangements is given for randomly packed beds and compact (void fraction less than 0.65) staggered tube bundles.

Simultaneous Heat, Mass, and Momentum Transfer in Porous Media: A Theory of Drying
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a general theory that provides a starting point for the construction of special theories so that various drying processes can be studied analytically without recourse to an enormous computational effort.

Momentum transfer at the boundary between a porous medium and a homogeneous fluid-I. Theoretical development
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a jump condition based on the non-local form of the volume averaged momentum equation, which produces a jump in the stress but not in the velocity, and this has important consequences for heat transfer processes.
