  2. Porosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porosity

    Connected porosity is more easily measured through the volume of gas or liquid that can flow into the rock, whereas fluids cannot access unconnected pores. Porosity is the ratio of pore volume to its total volume. Porosity is controlled by: rock type, pore distribution, cementation, diagenetic history and composition. Porosity is not controlled ...

  3. Pore structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_structure

    Micro CT of porous medium: Pores of the porous medium shown as purple color and impermeable porous matrix shown as green-yellow color. Pore structure is a common term employed to characterize the porosity, pore size, pore size distribution, and pore morphology (such as pore shape, surface roughness, and tortuosity of pore channels) of a porous medium.

  4. Porous medium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porous_medium

    At the microscopic and macroscopic levels, porous media can be classified. At the microscopic scale, the structure is represented statistically by the distribution of pore sizes, the degree of pore interconnection and orientation, the proportion of dead pores, etc. [4] The macroscopic technique makes use of bulk properties that have been averaged at scales far bigger than pore size.

  5. Permeability (materials science) - Wikipedia

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

    The permeability of a medium is related to the porosity, but also to the shapes of the pores in the medium and their level of connectedness. [2] Fluid flows can also be influenced in different lithological settings by brittle deformation of rocks in fault zones; the mechanisms by which this occurs are the subject of fault zone hydrogeology. [3]

  7. Poromechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poromechanics

    Poromechanics is a branch of physics and specifically continuum mechanics that studies the behavior of fluid-saturated porous media. [1] A porous medium or a porous material is a solid, constituting the matrix, which is permeated by an interconnected network of pores or voids filled with a fluid.

  9. Aquifer properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_properties

    where is void ratio, is porosity, V V is the volume of void-space (air and water), V S is the volume of solids, and V T is the total or bulk volume of medium. [1] The significance of the porosity is that it gives the idea of water storage capacity of the aquifer. Qualitatively, porosity less than 5% is considered to be small, between 5 and 20% ...
