The purpose of these studies was to determine the capillary filtration coefficient of the small intestine of anesthetized dogs by the gravimetric technique. Capillary filtration was produced by elevating venous pressure. Filtration rate increased as venous pressure was increased but the relation between the two was not proportional. At venous pressures greater than 10 mm Hg, filtration rate ten...

to examine hydraulics of lnapls in soil, the retention curves of diesel fuel and water were both determined by hanging column method. the soil retention parameters were obtained based on van genuchten, brooks-corey and campbell’s models. in addition, the soil hydraulic conductivity for both fluids were predicted based on mualem- brooks-corey, burdine- brooks-corey, mualem-van genuchten and camp...

Permeability and capillary pressures are important petrophysical properties. Permeability is one of the most important parameters for reservoir management and development. Capillary pressure data have been widely used in evaluating reservoir rock, sealing capacity, transition zone thickness, pay versus non pay, and absolute and relative permeability. We are working in this study modification tw...

A systematic study was made of capillary pressures in the microvascular bed of the mesentery of the cat. Simultaneous recordings were made with two micropipettes using a modification of the Wiederhielm servo-null system. All of the measurements were then referred to their specific location in the capillary bed by photographically reconstructing discrete networks. Pressures in different capillar...

sturge-weber syndrome (sws) is a very rare congenital disorder that is manifested by facial capillary malformation (port wine stain) which may be associated with capillary – venous malformations affecting many parts such as the brain, eyes facial skin and mucosa and also airways. in this report we present an unusual 28 years old female case of sws that presented with signs and symptoms of sudde...

To take capillary effect into account, a series of primary drainage experiments of water by a sample oil fluid have been studied. The experiments performed under different low flow rates on a horizontal glass type micromodel as a model of porous media. Based on conventional macroscopic flow equations, the relative permeabilities and capillary pressure are determined by parameter estimation tech...

This paper discusses shear viscosity measurements of polymer melts by the capillary rheometer. Particular emphasis is placed on investigating the effects of viscous heating and pressure dependence of viscosity in capillary flows. The capillary flow problem is addressed by means of numerical simulation using the finite element method to solve the equations of continuity, momentum and energy alon...

IMplicit Pressure Explicit Saturation (IMPES) scheme with treating buoyancy and capillary forces is used to solve the two-phase water-CO2 flow problem. In most of the previous studies of the two-phase flow, the buoyancy force term was ignored; however, in the case of liquidgas systems such as water-CO2, the gravity term is very important to express the buoyancy effect. In this paper, we present...

Rock selection in modeling and simulation studies is usually based on two techniques; routinely defined rock types and those defined by special core analysis (SCAL). The challenge in utilizing these two techniques is that they are frequently assumed to be the same, but in practice, static rock-types (routinely defined) are not always representative of dynamic rock-types (SCAL defined) in the re...
