The real challenge in porous media transport was the treatment of turbulent flow regimes or plainly - the development of governing equations for the Upper scale VAT turbulent description. Firstly the mathematical models and governing equations were developed and published in 1983 -- 89 having the air pollution modeling and chemical engineering as the fields of immediate application:

The first two correct mathematical and physics models on Turbulent transport in porous media were published in -
Scherban, A.N., Primak, A.V., and Travkin, V.S. "Mathematical Models of Flow and Mass Transfer in Urban Roughness Layer," Problemy Kontrolya i Zaschita Atmosfery ot Zagryazneniya, 1986, No. 12, pp. 3-10, (in Russian).

Later on this approach has been spread to other physical disciplines (developments for many of those are offered for observation in the present Web site)
Few governing equations on turbulent transport in porous media can be found in published texts as, for example, in
POROUS MEDIUM TURBULENT VAT EQUATIONS (100K)
in the paper in "Fluids Engineering" (1995)
More or less short texts were published in the paper in "Advances in Colloid and Interface Science" (1998)
and in the beginning part of the general text on HSP-VAT concepts and few applications - in Advances in Heat Transfer, V.34, (2001)
It is still not any one conclusively complete manuscript on porous media Turbulent phenomena description has been published so
far. Still, more basics and substantiation can be found in our -

I am sorry telling this for many times, but great number of publications on Turbulent transport in porous media are just having incorrect models. Or incorrect basically mathematical concepts, rules, or too much simplified assumptions when there is no sense to talk about foundation.
