Hello,
Please check Equations (7-2) [Source Term implementation for superficial velocity], (7-16)[Relation between superficial and physical velocities] and (7-17) [the last term of this equation where the source term gets multiplied by porosity].
I have not derived it from scratch but substituting for superificial velocity along with source term implementation should get you the documented momentum equation in the latest version.
