Based on a continuum description, the effect of capillary heterogeneity, induced by variation in permeability, on the steady state, countercurrent, vapor liquid flow in porous media is analyzed. It is shown that the heterogeneity acts as a body force, that may enhance or diminish gravity effects on
The objective of this study was to investigate the e!ects of capillary network anastomoses and tortuosity on oxygen transport in skeletal muscle, as well as the importance of muscle "bers in determining the arrangement of parallel capillaries. Countercurrent #ow and random capillary blockage (e.g. b
