In this paper we prove that the steepest descent of certain porous-medium type functionals with respect to the quadratic Wasserstein distance over a constrained (but not weakly closed) manifold gives rise to a nonlinear, nonlocal parabolic partial differential equation connected to the study of the asymptotic behavior of solutions for filtration problems. The result by Carlen and Gangbo on constrained optimization for steepest descent of the negative Boltzmann entropy in the Wasserstein space is generalized to porous-medium type functionals. An interesting feature of the resulting Fokker-Planck equation is the nonlocality of its drift term occurring at the same time as its nonlinearity.
