Water relative permeability

Created by Arthur Aslanyan (Nafta College), last modified on Jan 05, 2019

Relative permeability to water percolation:

(1)	$\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle k_{rw}(s)=\frac{k_w(s)}{k_a}\end{array}$

where

$\begin{array}{l}k_w(s)\end{array}$	water permeability
$\begin{array}{l}k_a\end{array}$	absolute permeability
$\begin{array}{l}s = \{ s_{\alpha}\}\end{array}$	reservoir saturation $\begin{array}{l}\sum_\alpha s_{\alpha} = 1\end{array}$
