The most general representation of the functions of the relative phase permeabilities for porous media is written explicitly. The relations proposed for the relative phase permeabilities generalize those obtained earlier for media with transversely-isotropic and orthotropic percolation properties [1,2] which can now be obtained as a particular case. A laboratory measurement technique for finding the percolation properties and determining the absolute and phase permeabilities for media with different types of anisotropy is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
