Models that can be used in calculating the transport parameters 
of a porous medium are considered. Despite their simplicity, the models 
qualitatively and quantitatively characterize popular classes of porous 
media and are not given in the literature in the context in question, 
as far as the authors know. Certain aspects of determination and evaluation 
of the parameters of radiative transfer in a porous medium are discussed.
