The following references are to the papers where the misunderstanding of fluid<br />

flow began. The experiments were valid, but their interpretation certainly not. The<br />

1934 paper is the main one, where their experiments were misinterpreted (mistaking<br />

manometer readings <strong>for</strong> pressure readings) and so ignoring the effect of gravity.<br />

Wyckoff, R. D., Botset, H. G. and Muskat, M. (1932) 'Flow of liquids through<br />

porous media under the action of gravity', <strong>Physics</strong> 3: 90-103. (If only they had<br />

stuck to gravity!)<br />
