ABSTRACT
The description of transport phenomena associated with flows of fluids in porous media requires the use of phenomenological coefficients with a complicated dependence on the fluid velocity. Directional dependence of conductivities is present even if the porous media structure is isotropic. The fluid velocity field provides a director with respect to which the orientation of all thermodynamic forces is compared. Transport in the transverse direction differs from transport in the velocity direction. Furthermore, linear dependence on the thermodynamic forces is insufficient once it has been experimentally observed that transport is faster in the flow direction than in opposition. Experimental data supporting this statement exist for the special case where fluid and porous media are at local thermal equilibrium at a single temperature.
