Abstract
A model is developed for the flow of a slightly compressible fluid through a saturated inelastic porous medium. The initialโboundaryโvalue problem is a system that consists of the diffusion equation for the fluid coupled to the momentum equation for the porous solid together with a constitutive law which includes a possibly hysteretic relation of elastoโviscoโplastic type. The variational form of this problem in Hilbert space is a nonโlinear evolution equation for which the existence and uniqueness of a global strong solution is proved by means of monotonicity methods. Various degenerate situations are permitted, such as incompressible fluid, negligible porosity, or a quasiโstatic momentum equation. The essential sufficient conditions for the wellโposedness of the system consist of an ellipticity condition on the term for diffusion of fluid and either a viscous or a hardening assumption in the constitutive relation for the porous solid.

The problem of diffusion in a medium with non-uniform temperature was first considered by Landauer, and subsequently discussed by a number of authors. The conclusion is that there is no universal diffusion equation; rather its precise form depends on the details of the underlying mechanism. Some exa
