  2. Darcy's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy's_law

    Darcy's law is an equation that describes the flow of a fluid through a porous medium and through a Hele-Shaw cell.The law was formulated by Henry Darcy based on results of experiments [1] on the flow of water through beds of sand, forming the basis of hydrogeology, a branch of earth sciences.

    However, the use of Darcy's law alone does not produce accurate results for heterogeneous media like shale, and tight sandstones, where there is a huge proportion of nanopores. This necessitates the use of a flow model that considers the weighted proportion of various flow regimes like Darcy flow, transition flow, slip flow, and free molecular ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability_(Materials...

    Permeability is typically determined in the lab by application of Darcy's law under steady state conditions or, more generally, by application of various solutions to the diffusion equation for unsteady flow conditions. [8] Permeability needs to be measured, either directly (using Darcy's law), or through estimation using empirically derived ...

  5. Porous medium equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porous_medium_equation

    The porous medium equation name originates from its use in describing the flow of an ideal gas in a homogeneous porous medium. [6] We require three equations to completely specify the medium's density , flow velocity field , and pressure : the continuity equation for conservation of mass; Darcy's law for flow in a porous medium; and the ideal gas equation of state.

  6. Relative permeability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_permeability

    The above form for Darcy's law is sometimes also called Darcy's extended law, formulated for horizontal, one-dimensional, immiscible multiphase flow in homogeneous and isotropic porous media. The interactions between the fluids are neglected, so this model assumes that the solid porous media and the other fluids form a new porous matrix through ...

    Henry Philibert Gaspard Darcy (French: [ɑ̃ʁi daʁsi]; 10 June 1803 – 3 January 1858) was a French engineer who made several important contributions to hydraulics, including Darcy’s law for flow in porous media.

    It can be represented by an IF-statement in the software code, and it occurs in some commercial reservoir simulators. The process (or rather sequence of processes) may be due to a backup plan for field recovery, or the injected fluid may flow to another reservoir rock formation due to an unexpected open part of a fault or a non-sealing cement ...
