NEW INSIGHT INTO THE FOURIER-LIKE AND DARCY-LIKE MODELS IN POROUS MEDIUM

ABSTRACT
In this study, we propose the general calculus operators based on the Richardson scaling law and Korcak scaling law. The Richardson-scaling-law calculus is considered to investigate the Fourier-like law for the scaling-law flow of the heat in the heat-transfer process. The Korcak-scaling-law calculus is used to model the Darcy-like law for describing the scaling-law flow of the fluid in porous medium. The formulas are as the special cases of the topology calculus proposed for descriptions of the fractal scaling-law behaviors in nature phenomena.
