  2. Void ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Void_ratio

    where is the void ratio, is the porosity, V V is the volume of void-space (gases and liquids), V S is the volume of solids, and V T is the total (or bulk) volume. This figure is relevant in composites , in mining (particular with regard to the properties of tailings ), and in soil science .

  3. Porosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porosity

    Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void (i.e. "empty") spaces in a material, and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume, between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%. Strictly speaking, some tests measure the "accessible void", the total amount of void space accessible from the surface (cf. closed-cell ...

  4. Water content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_content

    Soil composition by Volume and Mass, by phase: air, water, void (pores filled with water or air), soil, and total.. Water content or moisture content is the quantity of water contained in a material, such as soil (called soil moisture), rock, ceramics, crops, or wood.

  5. Void (composites) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Void_(composites)

    Void content in composites is represented as a ratio, also called void ratio, where the volume of voids, solid material, and bulk volume are taken into account.Void ratio can be calculated by the formula below where e is the void ratio of the composite, V v is the volume of the voids, and V t is the volume of the bulk material.

    Void ratio, the volume of void-space to solid space in a material Void safety , in object-oriented programming, a guarantee that no object references will have null values Void type , in programming languages, a keyword indicating the absence of data

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

    The concept of permeability is of importance in determining the flow characteristics of hydrocarbons in oil and gas reservoirs, [4] and of groundwater in aquifers. [5]For a rock to be considered as an exploitable hydrocarbon reservoir without stimulation, its permeability must be greater than approximately 100 md (depending on the nature of the hydrocarbon – gas reservoirs with lower ...

  9. 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.
