Here we introduce a methodical method for deriving governing equations for porous materials called Hybrid Mixture Theory [2-4].ÌýÌý Hybrid Mixture Theory is a combination of volume averaging the field equations (conservation of mass, momentum, energy) and using the second law of thermodynamics, constitutive equations (additional, material-dependent equations needed to close the system) are obtained by exploiting the entropy generation inequality.Ìý Here we will demonstrate the Coleman and Noll method of exploiting the entropy generation inequality to derive the Navier-Stokes equation, discuss the averaging procedure, and provide results regarding macroscopic flow for swelling porous materials such as drug-delivery polymers, expansive soils, soybeans, and biotissues.ÌýÌý In particular we discuss boundary conditions and potentials for macroscopic flow [1].
