Abstract Intrinsic and relative permeability are indispensable parameters for performing transfers in porous media. In this paper, the conception and ensuing exploitation of a new testing ground for measuring the relative permeability of water and nitrogen are presented. The experimental work was elaborated in the Laboratory of Thermal Studies in Poitiers, (France) where brick samples were used to verify the performance of the proposed testing strategy. The results prove the existence of several stages during the drainage and the imbibitions. In particular, the three stages observed for the case of gas permeability reduce to only two steps for liquid permeability. Comparison… More >
