In multiphase flow in porous media, the relative permeability of a phase is a dimensionless measure of the effective permeability of that phase. It is the ratio of the effective permeability of that phase to the absolute permeability. It can be viewed as an adaptation of Darcy's law to multiphase flow.
The physical property that links the flow equations of the three fluid phases, is relative permeability of each fluid phase and pressure. This property of the fluid-rock system (i.e. water-oil-gas-rock system) is mainly a function of the fluid saturations , and it is linked to capillary pressure and the flowing process, implying that it is ...
Furthermore, TEM-function in two-phase flow systems is an extension of RQI (rock quality index) for single-phase systems. [1] Also, TEM-function can be used for averaging relative permeability curves (for each fluid phase separately, i.e., water, oil, gas, CO 2). [1]
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.
In fluid dynamics, the Buckley–Leverett equation is a conservation equation used to model two-phase flow in porous media. [1] The Buckley–Leverett equation or the Buckley–Leverett displacement describes an immiscible displacement process, such as the displacement of oil by water, in a one-dimensional or quasi-one-dimensional reservoir.
LNAPL transmissivity is the discharge of light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) through a unit width of aquifer for a unit gradient.. Scholars Alex Mayer and S. Majid Hassanizadeh define LNAPL transmissivity as the "product of the porous medium permeability and the LNAPL relative permeability, which in turn is a function of saturation, and the thickness of the LNAPL".
In colloidal chemistry, one property of a lipid bilayer is the relative mobility (fluidity) of the individual lipid molecules and how this mobility changes with temperature. This response is known as the phase behavior of the bilayer. Broadly, at a given temperature a lipid bilayer can exist in either a liquid or a solid phase.
and P A is the ionic permeability, defined here as = The electric current density J A equals the charge q A of the ion multiplied by the flux j A = Current density has units of (Amperes/m 2). Molar flux has units of (mol/(s m 2)). Thus, to get current density from molar flux one needs to multiply by Faraday's constant F (Coulombs/mol).
