Darcy's law describes the advective flux in porous media on the macro-scale and is valid in the creeping flow regime (Reynolds number << 1, Forchheimer extensions is also implemented->see forcheimerslaw.hh). The advective flux characterizes the bulk flow for each fluid phase including all components in case of compositional flow. It is driven by the potential gradient \(\nabla p - \varrho {\textbf g}\), accounting for both pressure-driven and gravitationally-driven flow. The velocity is proportional to the potential gradient with the proportional factor \(\frac{\textbf K}{\mu}\), including the intrinsic permeability of the porous medium, and the viscosity µ of the fluid phase. For one-phase flow it is:
\[ v = - \frac{\mathbf K}{\mu} \left(\nabla p - \varrho {\mathbf g} \right) \]
This equation can be extended to calculate the velocity \(v_\alpha\) of phase \(\alpha\) in the case of multi-phase flow by introducing a relative permeability \(k_{r\alpha}\) restricting flow in the presence of other phases:
\[ v_\alpha = - \frac{k_{r\alpha}}{\mu_\alpha} \mathbf{K} \left(\nabla p_\alpha - \varrho_{\alpha} \mathbf{g} \right) \]
Darcy's law is specialized for different discretization schemes. This file contains the data which is required to calculate volume and mass fluxes of fluid phases over a face of a finite volume by means of the Darcy approximation. See the corresponding header files for the specific different discretization methods.
