Pore-scale; pore-scale

"Pore scale" refers to a scale relevant to understanding processes occurring at the level of individual pores or void spaces in a porous medium.

Volume élémentaire représentatif; Representative Elementary Volume

Volume of porous medium above which average values no longer reflect pore-scale variations.

Permeability

Property of a porous medium relating pressure drop and filtration rate.

Dispersion mechanisms
