Dispersions and porous media exist either in nature or in industrial applications. They have been the subject of investigations for a long time, but the complexity of the phenomenon is the major obstacle to its better understanding. Many factors influence the interface interactions, transport, accumulation and detachment of particles in a porous matrix limiting new applications. The current state of investigations which include dispersions in the liquid continuous phase, especially emulsions, liquid/solid interface interactions in porous media and some new mathematical functions were reviewed in this paper
