A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Fluid flow in porous media

Fluid flow in porous media is governed by Darcy’s law, which links the volumetric flux to the pressure gradient through the medium’s permeability and fluid viscosity. Understanding the roles of porosity, permeability, and relative permeability is essential for predicting reservoir performance and designing well tests.
