Adsorption and Relative Permeability in a Two-Dimensional Bidisperse Anisotropic Pore Network Model by Peter J. Schweighart, David Nicholson

“…Adsorption isotherms and relative permeabilities have been calculated for a previously studied two-dimensional model for a bidisperse macroheterogeneous porous material containing regions of microporosity embedded in a mesoporous network. Both properties show distinctive features which reflect the underlying pore structure and which differ in several respects from similar results for macro-scopically homogeneous models.…”
