Steady filtration through foam

Fluid Dynamics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The process of filtration of a liquid through a deformable porous medium with the structure of a gas-liquid foam is considered. A basis is provided for a model of fluid flow through foam. Expressions are obtained for the differential law of steady filtration and the integral laws of filtration through a vertical column of foam under the influence of body and surface forces.
