Abstract

Recently, Avellaneda and Torquato [Phys. Fluids A 3, 2529 (1991)] derived several expressions for both the static and dynamic permeability for flow through porous media, in terms of the characteristic viscous relaxation times. In this Brief Communication the focus is on the physical interpretation, Darcy’s law is explicitly obtained, and a slightly misleading statement (which has no effect on the mathematics but may induce erroneous interpretations) is corrected.
