This 3 credit course provides a review of rock types and their physical properties that affect fluid flow within porous media, such as porosity, permeability, and capillary pressure. Students will learn about properties including surface tension, wettability, viscosity, and how Darcy's law applies to anisotropic porous media. The course includes two days of field applications.
