  2. Porosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porosity

    Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void ... between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%. ... as given by the Gibbs-Thomson equation. Thus if a ...

  3. Pore space in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_space_in_soil

    The porosity is a measure of the total pore space in the soil. This is defined as a fraction of volume often given in percent. The amount of porosity in a soil depends on the minerals that make up the soil and on the amount of sorting occurring within the soil structure.

    Effective porosity is most commonly ... The amount of Clay-bound water is determined by the following equation ... Glauconite can constitute a large percentage of the ...

  5. 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% ...

  6. Pore structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_structure

    The proportion of empty space in a porous media is called porosity. [9] It is determined by dividing the volume of the pores or voids by the overall volume. It is expressed as a percentage or as a decimal fraction between 0 and 1. Porosity for the majority of rocks ranges from less than 1% to 40%.

  7. Fiber volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_volume_ratio

    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%.

  8. 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 .

  9. Specific storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_storage

    Specific yield, also known as the drainable porosity, is a ratio, and is the volumetric fraction of the bulk aquifer volume that a given aquifer will yield when all the water is allowed to drain out of it under the forces of gravity:
