Moreover, flow through a porous medium has practical applications especially in geophysical fluid dynamics. Examples of natural porous medium are beach sand, sandstone, limestone, rye bread, wood, the human lung, bile duct, gall bladder with stones and in small blood vessels.
They are fondly called "the porch people." Each summer since 1959, the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Program at WHOI has gathered promising young students in tiny Walsh Cottage, together with some of the greatest scientific minds in the field (such as Henry Stommel and Louis N.

Global climate simulations run by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory have shown that with a sea-surface warming of about 2.2 degrees Celsius, the strongest cyclones in the northwest tropical Pacific are projected to have 5 percent to 12 percent more intense winds.
