Abstract
The local porosity of a real porous material (obtained by averaging over volumes containing a sufficiently large number of pores) is different from the mean porosity of the material as a whole. This difference is caused by large-scale defects of the porous structure and can be treated as a random function of position in the porous material. Such a random deviation of the local porosity from the average value causes random local flows superimposed upon the mean filtration flow. The characteristic scale of such motion is much larger than that of the flow of a fluid through individual pores. The phenomenon appears to play an important role in transport processes in filtration.In this paper the statistical characteristics of the random fields under consideration are determined on the basis of the assumption that the local porosity is a random function of position with independent increments. Expressions for correlations of various quantities are obtained in terms of the characteristics of porosity fluctuations and the effective coefficients of diffusion caused by the random motions under study are estimated.
