Part of the bulk rock volume containing the hydrodynamically connected fluids (also called free fluids) within each pore element:
V_\phi = V_r - V_m |
where
| solid rock matrix volume |
Although the fluid inside the pore is movable but some pores maybe isolated from each other and do not contribute to rock permeability.
This splits the pore volume into two components: connected pore volume
and closed pore volume
:
V_\phi = V_{\rm con} + V_{\rm cls} |
