✦ Synopsis

We study the self-similar source solution of the Barenblatt equation for elasto-plastic filtration through porous rock, in the limit of large compressibility and small elastic recovery of the rock.

Consider the flow of an elastic fluid through an elasto-plastic porous medium. Then the pressure p, the density p, the porosity cp and the velocity v are governed by the following physical laws:
