Conclusions

In this paper the current state of the macroscopic porous media theory has been stated along with the citation of numerous contributions. The investigations concerning the fundamentals of the theory of porous media have revealed that in the last decade a consistent theory has been derived, consistent with the basic principles of continuum mechanics, in particular, the dissipation principles.
