The problem of radially directed fluid flow through a deformable porous shell is considered. General nonlinear diffusion equations are developed for spherical, cylindrical and planar geometries. Solutions for steady flow are found in terms of an exact integral and perturbation solutions are also developed. For unsteady flow, perturbation methods are used to find approximate small-time solutions and a solution valid for slow compression rates. These solutions are used to investigate the deformation of the porous material with comparisons made between the planar and the cylindrical geometries.
