liquidpermeability
Liquid permeability refers to the ability of a porous material to allow liquids to pass through it. It is a fundamental property in various scientific and engineering fields, including geology, soil science, fluid mechanics, and materials science. Permeability is a measure of the ease with which a fluid can flow through the interconnected pore spaces within a material. It is distinct from porosity, which describes the total volume of empty space within a material, as permeability depends on the size, shape, and connectivity of these pores.
The unit of permeability is typically Darcy (D) or millidarcy (mD), named after French physicist Henry Darcy.
In geological contexts, liquid permeability is crucial for understanding groundwater flow, oil and gas extraction, and
