  2. Capillary flow porometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_flow_porometry

    The selection of the wetting liquid is important as it determines the measurable pore size range for a given pressure. Some common wetting liquids used in capillary flow porometry include water, alcohols, silicone oil and perfluoroethers. The use of water and/or alcohols present the disadvantage that they can evaporate and therefore the samples ...

  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. Pore space in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_space_in_soil

    A pore is not simply a void in the solid structure of soil. The various pore size categories have different characteristics and contribute different attributes to soils depending on the number and frequency of each type. A widely used classification of pore size is that of Brewer (1964): [1] [2] [3]

  5. Soil mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_mechanics

    The thickness of the zone of capillary saturation depends on the pore size, but typically, the heights vary between a centimeter or so for coarse sand to tens of meters for a silt or clay. [3] In fact the pore space of soil is a uniform fractal e.g. a set of uniformly distributed D-dimensional fractals of average linear size L.

  6. Capillary fringe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_fringe

    This saturated portion of the capillary fringe is less than the total capillary rise because of the presence of a mix in pore size. If the pore size is small and relatively uniform, it is possible that soils can be completely saturated with water for several feet above the water table. Alternately, when the pore size is large, the saturated ...

  7. Permeability (porous media) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability_(porous_media)

    Symbol used to represent in situ permeability tests in geotechnical drawings. In fluid mechanics, materials science and Earth sciences, the permeability of porous media (often, a rock or soil) is a measure of the ability for fluids (gas or liquid) to flow through the media; it is commonly symbolized as k.

  8. Water table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_table

    In soils where capillary action is strong, the water table is pulled upward, forming a capillary fringe. The groundwater may be from precipitation or from more distant groundwater flowing into the aquifer. In areas with sufficient precipitation, water infiltrates through pore spaces in the soil, passing through the unsaturated zone.

  9. Capillary pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_pressure

    is the residual oil saturation that remains trapped in the pore at high capillary pressure P t {\displaystyle P_{t}} is the threshold pressure (the pressure at which the gas phase is allowed to flow) λ {\displaystyle \lambda } is a parameter that is related to the distribution of pore sizes
