Some fundamental questions about the mathematical description of transport phenomena in heterogeneous media are addressed to highlight the importance of the smallest scale, of using the correct equations and of choosing a consistent set of scaling parameters. Micro-pore flow is treated using a viscosity correlation that properly treats the near wall region in a capillary. Equations resulting from use of volume averaging theory (VAT) are compared with exact solutions and it shown that certain terms normally ignored must be retained. A consistent set of scaling parameters are derived and shown to yield consistent results over a wide range of different media morphologies.
