TWO_PHASE_REL_PERM_POINT (C038, C112, C138)

(Rules) (Express)

The ratio of effective permeability to absolute permeability for a fluid phase in a porous and permeable media in the presence of a second immiscible phase at a saturation condition. The relative permeability of a fluid phase is a number between zero and one (inclusive), and the relative permeability is one only when the porous medium is 100% saturated with the fluid phase. In practice, a third phase may be present but must at all times be immobile. In this case, the relative permeability values are always less than one. Relative permeabilities are expressed for the wetting and nonwetting phases as a function of wetting phase saturation.
