Dispersion in flow through a network of capillaries

Saffman, P. G.

Abstract

This paper presents the results of an analysis of dispersion in a porous medium, for the case when Dorcy's law is valid and the Péclet number is large. It is shown that, after a sufficiently long time, the effective longitudinal diffusivity is a logarithmic function of the Péclet number.
