It is one of offsets of Mechanics of fluids, a subject developed by mechanics of fluids, medium theory, physics and chemistry. biology Seepage phenomenon is common in nature and artificial materials Such as seepage of ground water, hot water and brine seepage of oil natural gas and coal seam gas; seepage of blood micro-circulation and micro-bronchia in animals transportation of water, gas and sugar in plant; seepage of pottery, tile and so on artificial porous materials5 Chapter 9 Seepage Flow Seepage flow occurs during fluid flows through porous medium ,Mechanics of seepage flow is the study of fluids movement law in porous media.
