Mass flux
Encyclopedia
Mass flux is the rate of mass flow across a unit area (kg·m-2·s-1) (either as an alternate form of Fick's law that includes the molecular mass, or an alternate form of Darcy's law
that includes the density).
Darcy's law
Darcy's law is a phenomenologically derived constitutive equation that describes the flow of a fluid through a porous medium. The law was formulated by Henry Darcy based on the results of experiments on the flow of water through beds of sand...
