Math and Physics

 q = -\frac{kA}{\mu} \frac{dP}{dL}

Conditions

  • Single fluid
  • Steady stay flow
  • Constant fluid compressibility
  • Constant temperature

Nomenclature

 A = cross-sectional area, cm2
 k = permeability, d
 L = length, cm
 P = pressure, atm
 q = flow rate, cm3/sec

Greek symbols

 \mu = Darcy's law oil viscosity, cp
