Abstract
At the end of the 18th century, serious problems in dyke constructions in North-ern Germany and the need to understand coupled solid-water problems initiatedfirst attempts to describe porous media. Many attempts followed until a soundTheory of Porous Media (TPM) was born on the basis of continuum mechanicsofmulti-componentmaterialswithmulti-physicalproperties.Thepresentarticleroughly describes the development of the TPM from its origins to contemporaryapplications, thus presenting a short historical review of porous-media research.
