Volume averaging for the three components (two solid and one fluid) yields
- p_BK_B = B<>u_B - _B(1-_B), and
- p_fK_f = B<>u_f + .
These three equations should be compared to (solids) and (fluidf).
Now, to provide some further insight, notice that
the left hand side of (uA) is equal to , while the
right hand side is
.
