Problem 1) Consider a core of length L, cross-sectional area A, and porosity is saturated

with an incompressible fluid of viscosity at an initial pressure pi. While the outlet pressure
is kept at pi, the inlet pressure is exposed to the following pressures.






Carefully draw schematic profiles of pressure in the core as a function of space and time.

Problem 2) Write down the mathematical expression for hydraulic diffusivity. What is the
physical significance of this term?

Problem 3) Consider the 1-D Radial Steady State Flow. The hydraulic diffusivity equation
can be derived as:
