摘要
A general mathematical model of steady-state transport driven by spatially non-local driving potential differences is proposed. The porous medium is considered to be a network of short-, medium-, and long-range interstitial channels with impermeable walls and at a continuum of length scales, and the flow rate in each channel is assumed to be linear with respect to the pressure difference between its ends. The flow rate in the model is thus a functional of the non-local driving pressure differences. As special cases, the model reduces to familiar forms of transport equations that are commonly used. An important situation arises when the phenomenon is almost, but not quite, locally dependent. The one-dimensional form of the model discussed here can be extended to multiple dimensions, temporal non-locality, and to heat, mass, and momentum transfer.
