Effect of physical properties of porous media on water movement. Research technical completion report, project A-025-IDA Item Info

This project was initiated to attempt to define relationships between the permeability of unconsolidated porous materials and physical properties of the porous material such as porosity, orientation of particles and the particles size. The work was divided into three specific objectives -- each of which was the subject of a graduate thesis. The experimental work was conducted on campus, while the extensive computer runs were done at the University of Idaho, Washington State University, and Nova Scotia Technical College, Halifax, Nova Scotia. The objectives of this project were: (1) to investigate theoretically and experimentally the flow of fluid around various arrays of cylindrical and spherical particles. (2) To related, theoretically and experimentally, the coefficient of permeability for unconsolidated porous media to the particle size and porosity of the media. (3) To determine, theoretically and experimentally, a capillary pressure saturation relationship for an arrangement of spherical particles.
