Related to permeability: Relative permeability

permeability

The measure of a material's ability to transmit liquids.The passage of soil contaminants into groundwater increases as soil permeability increases.On the other hand,in situ remediation—removal or decomposition—of groundwater contamination is easier as permeability increases.For a color map of the United States showing the relative permeability of soils across the country, see the Web site page of the Environmental Protection Agency at www.epa.gov/iwi/1999sept/iv20_usmap.html.

Through research in the literature, authors noted an absence of permeability characterization in hybrid carbon/glass preform, considering that two reinforcements with different physical characteristics change impregnation performance and, consequently, void formation.

The objective of this study is the theoretical permeability equation development by employing the fluid mechanical approach for a generic hybrid preform to analyze the effect of different fabrics stacking sequence in hybrid preform.
