PERMEABILITY
Flow of Liquids in Porous Media
Linear Flow, Incompressible Liquid• 1-D Linear Flow System Assumptions
• steady state flow
• incompressible fluid, q(0s L) = constant
• d includes effect of dZ/ds (change in elevation)
• A(0s L) = constant
• Darcy flow (Darcy’s Law is valid)
• k = constant (non-reactive fluid)
• single phase (S=1)
• isothermal (constant )

Linear Flow, Incompressible Liquid
• Darcy’s Law:
• q12 > 0, if 1 > 2
• Use of flow potential, , valid for horizontal, vertical or inclined flow

Flow Potential - Gravity TermSI
= p - gZ Z+ Z is elevation measured from a datum
has dimension of pressure In SI Z is measured in m, both and p are in
Pa, ρ is in kg/m3 and g is 9.81 m/s2
The second term can also be written as S.G * 9810 Pa where S.G. is specific gravity
w.r.t. water
Flow Potential - Gravity TermField
In Field units: = p – Z ρ g / conversions = p – Z (S.G.) c
Z+ Z is elevation measured from a datum
Both and p are measured in psi Z is measured in ft, ρ is in lbm/ft3 and g is 32.7 ft/s2 conversions are complicated S.G. is specific gravity with respect to water and is
dimensionless c is 0.433 psi/ft
Flow Potential - Darcy’s Experiment
Discuss ABW, Fig. 2-26 (pg. 68) Confirm that for the static (no flow) case, the flow
potential is constant (there is no potential gradient to cause flow)
