Physical models of pressure diffusion can be split into two categories: Newtonian and Rheological (non-Newtonian) based on the fluid stress model.
Mathematical models of pressure diffusion can be split into three categories: Linear, Pseudo-Linear and Non-linear.
These models are built using Numerical, Analytical or Hybrid pressure diffusion solvers.
Many popular 1DR solutions can be approximated by Radial Flow Pressure Diffusion @model which has a big methodological value.
The simplest analytical solutions for pressure diffusion are given by 1DL Linear-Drive Solution (LDS) and 1DR Line Source Solution (LSS)
