Abstract
A long-standing issue concerning fluid flow in a porous medium is the calculation of transport coefficients in terms of associated pore-scale parameters. The pore structure of a real porous medium is usually so complex, however, that the explicit modelling of flow processes through it has posed a colossal problem to physicists and engineers alike. Consequently, this has remained one of the most intractable problems in statistical physics.
