AB - A mathematical model is developed for the flow of water through a channel impregnated with a polymer gel. The model uses a Brinkman equation along with an experimentally-observed velocity-dependent permeability. Numerical and approximate analytical solutions are given. When combined with a mathematical analysis of oil flow through polymer gels, which is currently underway, these results should help to understand the mechanism of disproportionate permeability reduction, which is the basis of successful polymer gel treatments for water control.
