WHAT DOES RELATIVE PERMEABILITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Relative permeability

In multiphase flow in porous media, the relative permeability of a phase is a dimensionless measure of the effective permeability of that phase. It is the ratio of the effective permeability of that phase to the absolute permeability. It can be viewed as an adaptation of Darcy's law to multiphase flow. For two-phase flow in porous media given steady-state conditions, we can write where is the flux, is the pressure drop, is the viscosity. The subscript indicates that the parameters are for phase. is here the phase permeability, as observed through the equation above. Relative permeability,, for phase is then defined from, as where is the permeability of the porous medium in single-phase flow, i.e., the absolute permeability. Relative permeability must be between zero and one. In applications, relative permeability is often represented as a function of water saturation, however due to capillary hysteresis, one often resorts to one function or curve measured under drainage and one measured under imbibition. Under this approach, the flow of each phase is inhibited by the presence of the other phases.

Definition of relative permeability in the English dictionary

The definition of relative permeability in the dictionary is the ratio of the permeability of a medium to that of free space μr.
