TL;DR: Stochastic methods may be applied to flow problems in porous media because they are well suited to cope with the variability of the physical properties in space as discussed by the authors, but they are not suitable for flow analysis in the real world.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the methodology of developing the complete description of transport phenomena in a multiphase, deformable porous medium, and demonstrate this methodology by applying it to the transport of such extensive quantities as volume, mass, component of a phase, momentum and heat.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model for the evaluation of the boundary layer developed between the main phases during the preparation of unidirectional fiber composites was introduced, and it was shown that this thin layer influences considerably the physical properties of the composite.
Abstract: A theoretical model was introduced for the evaluation of the boundary layer developed between the main phases during the preparation of unidirectional fiber composites. It has been shown that this thin layer influences considerably the physical properties of the composite. It was assumed that the physical properties of themesophase unfold from those of the hard-core fibers to those of the softer matrix. Thus, a multicylinder model was assumed improving the classical two-cylinder model introduced by Hashin and Rosen for the representative volume element of the composite.
