A calculation of the viscous force exerted by a flowing fluid on a dense swarm of particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the viscous force exerted by a flowing fluid on a dense swarm of particles is described by a modification of Darcy's equation, which was necessary in order to obtain consistent boundary conditions.
