Mass Continuity in Porous Media - I

This course covers the comprehensive understanding of flow through porous media. It starts with the basic characterization and parameters of porous media, including the theories of flow, mass continuity, and Darcy's law. The course explains the continuum assumption, where the porous media is treated as a homogeneous set. It further discusses the application of Darcy's law in determining the permeability of the media and how to measure porosity and permeability. The course also extends to the concept of mass continuity in Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates, and pressure equations. It concludes with the explanation of the equation for continuity and how it gets modified in different coordinate systems. The course also provides a detailed explanation of streamlines, potential lines, and isobaric lines.
