Capillary pressure (Pc) curves acquired using the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique, call GIT-CAP, have 70-100 data points. This extra data, when compared with traditional porous plate or centrifuge techniques, allows for the interpretation of more information from the Pc curve. In particular, the pore throat size and relative permeability can be extracted. The pore throat size can be ...

In this work, stress-dependent absolute and relative permeabilites in porous media are studied using the discrete element method lattice Boltzmann method. The change of permeability porosity during compaction is found follow a power-law relation. homogeneous pack agreement with prediction Carman-Kozeny equation. Porosity exponent increased due to existence vugs but decreased fractures. Relative...

The relative permeability sequences of the rat connexin 43 (rCx43) gap junction channel to seven cations and chloride were examined by double whole cell patch clamp recording of single gap junction channel currents in rCx43 transfected neuroblastoma 2A (N2A) cell pairs. The measured maximal single channel slope conductances (gammaj, in pS) of the junctional current-voltage relationships in 115 ...

The estimation of absolute and relative permeabilities for petroleum reservoirs on the basis of noisy data at wells is considered. The spatially varying absolute permeability is estimated by regularisation combined with a bi-cubic spline approximation. Relative permeability is represented by a given function of saturation with unknown coefficients. Numerical results provide an indication of the...

In this research work, an improved two-dimensional semi-analytical subdomain based method for performance computation in IPM machine considering infinite-/finite-magnetic material permeability in pseudo-Cartesian coordinates by using hyperbolic functions has been presented. In the developed technique, all subdomains are divided into periodic or non-periodic regions with homogeneous or non-homog...

Capillary pressure-saturation-relative permeability relations described using the van Genuchten and Mualem models for non-uniform porous media lead to numerical convergence diiculties when used with Richards' equation for certain auxiliary conditions. These diiculties arise because of discontinuities in the derivative of speciic moisture capacity and relative permeability as a function of capil...
