+    Model for mixing of friable sand and friable shale.
+
+    It is no point to use this model to calculate the shale response only,
+    in that case Friable Model with shale parameters does the job.
+
+    The shale fluid should be brine.
+
+    Shale fraction shaleFrac is in the range 0 to 1. For shaleFrac = 0 we
+    have a pure sand end member with phi = phiC for sand. For shaleFrac = 1
+    we have pure shale with phi = intrinsic porosity. For shaleFrac < phiC
+    the model is on the shaly sand trend, for shaleFrac > phiC it is on the
+    sandy shale trend.
