The Darcy-Forchheimer law for modelling fluid flow in biological tissues

The motion of the interstitial uid of a biological tissue is studied by employing the Darcy-Forchheimer law, a correction to standard Darcy's law. The tissue is modelled as a saturated biphasic medium comprising the fluid and a deformable matrix. The reason for undertaking this study i...
