A collection of popular variable permeability functions is presented and discussed in this work. The functions have been used largely in Brinkman’s equation which governs the flow through a porous domain in the presence of solid, macroscopic boundaries on which the no-slip condition is imposed, and has been used in transition layer modelling. A convenient classification of permeability functions is also provided. The sigmoid logistic function is presented in this work in a modified form that is suitable for variable permeability modelling, and is used in obtaining solution to Poiseuille flow through a Brinkman porous channel.
