In order to investigate the influence of the vertical variation of porosity on open-channel flow with submerged vegetation, vertical non-homogeneous stumps and stems in submerged vegetation flow are simulated with truncated cones in a laboratory flume. First, porosity is defined as a function of water depth. A new governing equation for vegetation flow is established on the basis of the poroela...

The relations among the resistivity, elastic-wave velocity, porosity, and permeability in Fontainebleau sandstone samples from the Ile de France region, around Paris, France were experimentally revisited. These samples followed a permeability-porosity relation given by Kozeny-Carman’s equation. For the resistivity measurements, the samples were partially saturated with brine. Archie’s equation ...

Understanding acoustic velocities of sedimentary deposits is crucial for realistic subsurface imaging. The rely on mineralogy, density, as well pore volume (porosity) and structure. In carbonate rocks, both depositional diagenetic histories exert a significant control these characteristics. order to determine this control, petrographic analysis (thin sections) associated with the content, grain...

To elucidate the correlation between enhanced biogas production and changed physico-chemical properties of methanogenic granules after low strength ultrasonication, in this study, the effects of low strength ultrasonication on the settling velocity, permeability, porosity, and fluid collection efficiency of the methanogenic granules were investigated. In addition, their morphological changes we...

Abstract In this study, the sound absorption coefficient of three low density hardwoods – binuang, balsa and paulownia were investigated. Their gas permeability pore size measured, their shapes classified into through pore, blind pored, closed as specified by International Union Pure Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Among species, obvious that had lowest when two others showed higher absorption. Alth...

In this work, various three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds were produced via micro-stereolithography (µ-SLA) and 3D printing (3DP) techniques. This work demonstrates the advantages and disadvantages of these two different rapid prototyping methods for production of bone scaffolds. Compared to 3DP, SLA provides for smaller feature production with better dimensional resolution and accuracy. The perme...

Low-gradient flow tests and one-dimensional consolidation tests were performed on four samples from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 156, northern Barbados Ridge, Hole 949B, to provide direct as well as indirect measures of permeability and stress history. All samples tested show a significant degree of underconsolidation, with overconsolidation ratio (OCR) values decreasing with depth from 0.4...

Permeability and capillary pressures are important petrophysical properties. Permeability is one of the most important parameters for reservoir management and development. Capillary pressure data have been widely used in evaluating reservoir rock, sealing capacity, transition zone thickness, pay versus non pay, and absolute and relative permeability. We are working in this study modification tw...
