Fractal porous media IV: Three-dimensional stokes flow through random media and regular fractals

The three-dimensional Stokes flow of a Newtonian fluid through random and/or fractal media is numerically determined. The permeability of these media is derived. Results relative to these structures are presented and discussed. The validity of the Carman equation and of a simple scaling argument is questioned.
