In petroleum engineering, the Leverett ''J''-function is a dimensionless function of water saturation describing the capillary pressure,〔 〕 : where is the water saturation measured as a fraction, is the capillary pressure (in pascal), is the permeability (measured in m²), is the porosity (0-1), is the surface tension (in N/m) and is the contact angle. The function is important in that it is constant for a given saturation within a reservoir, thus relating reservoir properties for neighboring beds. The Leverett ''J''-function is an attempt at extrapolating capillary pressure data for a given rock to rocks that are similar but with differing permeability, porosity and wetting properties. It assumes that the porous rock can be modelled as a bundle of non-connecting capillary tubes, where the factor is a characteristic length of the capillaries' radii. ==See also== * Amott test 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leverett J-function」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
