The paper is concerned with dynamics of multi-phase media consisting of a solid permeable material and a compressible Newtonian fluid. Governing macroscopic equations are derived starting from the space-averaged microscopic mass and momentum balances. The Reynolds stress models (i.e., momentum dispersive fluxes) are discussed, and a suitable model is developed. In the case of granular media the solid constituent is considered as an elastic-plastic matrix, and the yield condition is approximated by Coulomb friction law. It is revealed that the classical principle of maximum plastic work is not, in general, valid for granular media, and an appropriate variational principle is developed. This novel principle coincides with the maximum plastic work principle for the case of cohesionless and free from internal friction granular media.
