Abstract

Flow law constraints that make it possible to establish comparison theorems (analogs of the theorems of [1, 2]) for nonlinear flows in an anisotropic inhomogeneous medium are formulated. In the theorems obtained the changes in the values of the pressure head and, moreover, the flow rate, filter velocity and pressure head gradients for such perturbations of the problem as the depression of individual surfaces, changes in the given boundary values of the head, etc., are established. The strict monotonicity of the relation between the flow rate and the pressure head difference in a region of the enlarged stream tube type and the possibility of an increase in flow rate with increase in flow resistance are demonstrated. The question of the correspondence between the constraints introduced and certain common models of porous media is discussed.
