摘要
A fractal permeability model which accounts for the capillary pressure is derived, and the permeability contribution from the capillary pressure is analyzed. The predicted permeability is compared with the available experimental data, and good agreement is found between the present model predictions and available experimental data. The results show that at low porosity (< 0.35), the capillary pressure has the significant influence on the total permeability, and the capillary pressure effect cannot be neglected. But at high porosity (> 0.35), the effect of capillary pressure on permeability is insignificant.
