  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A mathematical model of relative permeability hysteresis in drainage and imbibition is constructed on the basis of percolation theory. It is shown that the results are in qualitatively agreement with experimental data.
