In this study, a grain-scale modelling technique has been developed to generate the capillary pressure-saturation curves for swelling granular materials. This model employs only basic granular properties such as particles size distribution, porosity, and the amount of absorbed water for swelling materials. Using this model, both drainage and imbibition curves are directly obtained by pore-scale...

Concrete is seldom saturated due to its self-desiccation. Even the submerged concrete structures may remain unsaturated for quite a long time. It has been reported the saturation level of pore solution has significant effect on species penetration. However, very little work was proposed regarding the transport properties and serviceability of concrete structures made of blended cementitious mat...

Amide proton transfer (APT) imaging has shown promise as an indicator of tissue pH and as a marker for brain tumors. Sources of error in APT measurements include direct water saturation, and magnetization transfer (MT) from membranes and macromolecules. These are typically suppressed by postprocessing asymmetry analysis. However, this approach is strongly dependent on B(0) homogeneity and can i...

Macroscopic observations of two-phase flow in porous rocks are largely affected by the heterogeneity continuum properties at length scales smaller than a typical laboratory sample. The ability to discriminate among rock origin is key development numerical models be used for prediction. Here, we present capillary equilibrium model that represents spatial dual-porosity media terms entry pressure,...

Abstract—Well logging records can help to answer many questions from a wide range of special interested information and basic petrophysical properties to formation evaluation of oil and gas reservoirs. The accurate calculations of porosity in carbonate reservoirs are the most challenging aspects of the well logging analysis. Many equations have been developed over the years based on known physi...

Serum is generally considered to contain at least two proteins, albumin and globulin, differing both in their isoelectric points, (literature summarized by Freundlich) and molecular weights (Svedberg and Sj6gren), and readily separable by half-saturation with ammonium sulfate, which precipitates the globulin. There has been considerable investigation tending to show that the globulin fraction i...

introduction suitability of groundwater for drinking, irrigation and industrial purposes depends upon its quality. changes in groundwater quality are due to variation in climatic conditions, residence time of water with aquifer materials and inputs from soil during percolation of water. multivariate statistical methods are one of the common and important methods for hydro geochemistry study. sa...

The nasal cavity volume and the temperature of the nasal mucosa are considered to be the most important predictors of nasal conditioning. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the intranasal degree of water vapour saturation of inhaled air and nasal patency. Intranasal humidity values at different locations within the nasal cavity of 15 healthy subjects were compared to n...

A modiied water vapor saturation pressure table, containing both water vapor saturation pressure over ice and over water have been introduced in HIRLAM and compared to the reference table, where one single mixed table is used. Diierent aspects of how to use this new vapor saturation pressure table are treated in this report and two tests with it are presented. The best result is obtained when t...

Gas hydrate model and free gas model are established, and two-phase theory (TPT) for numerical simulation of elastic wave velocity is adopted to investigate the unconsolidated deep-water sedimentary strata in Shenhu area, South China Sea. The relationships between compression wave (P wave) velocity and gas hydrate saturation, free gas saturation, and sediment porosity at site SH2 are studied, r...
