摘要: Mass transport through porous media is an important subject to engineers and scientists in various areas including oil engineering, fuel cells, soil science, textile etc. The relative permeability capillary pressure are the key parameters that affect liquid media. In this paper, Monte Carlo technique applied predict of unsaturated media, considering effect tortuosity capillaries. expressed as a function porosity, area fractal dimension pores, tortuous capillaries, degree saturation, pressure. It found phase dimensions (Df,w Df,g) strongly depend on porosity. Besides, it shown increases with decrease at low saturation sharply saturation. There no empirical constant proposed model...
