Key Parameters

Porosity:

  • Amount of empty space within a material

Permeability:

  • Ability of a material to transmit fluid.
  • Measure of how connected pathways are within a material.

Data

Using rock dataset available within R.

rockData <- rock
str(rockData)
## 'data.frame':    48 obs. of  4 variables:
##  $ area : int  4990 7002 7558 7352 7943 7979 9333 8209 8393 6425 ...
##  $ peri : num  2792 3893 3931 3869 3949 ...
##  $ shape: num  0.0903 0.1486 0.1833 0.1171 0.1224 ...
##  $ perm : num  6.3 6.3 6.3 6.3 17.1 17.1 17.1 17.1 119 119 ...
