Steady flow experiments in saturated clays

When Darcy's law is applied to steady flow of water in saturated clay pastes it is found in general that the flux density of water is not simply proportional to the imposed water pressure difference. This arises because of the dependence of the void ratio of the clay on the pressure difference. In addition, the nature of the flux density/pressure difference curve depends on the way in which the experiment is performed.
