Abstract

The methods of mathematical modelling for the filtration properties of the rocks are discussed. The relation between the porosity of a rock and its clearance in under formed state, and under external loads is derived. The coefficient of volumetric filtration are expressed mathematically in two different cases; assuming the shape of the pores either cylindrical or slot shaped channels. The paper contains (37) mathematical formulae and three figures which illustrate various relationships between the studied parameters.
