## Abstract The study of flow of nonβNewtonian fluids in porous media is very important and serves a wide variety of practical applications in processes such as enhanced oil recovery from underground reservoirs, filtration of polymer solutions and soil remediation through the removal of liquid poll

In this article we present a review of the single-phase flow of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media. The four main approaches for describing the flow through porous media in general are examined and assessed in this context. These are: continuum models, bundle of tubes models, numerical methods and
The conditions for expecting a similarity solution on the lines of d'Arcy's Law for non-Newtonian flow in porous media are examined. A modified d'Arcy Law can be expected for a power law fluid. If the viscometric data does not indicate a power law fluid one cannot find a simple solution for calculat
