One of the Absolute permeability models based on simulating the flow through the multi-pipe conduits or multi-grain pack:

| k = 1014.24 \cdot {\ |

(\phi -\phi_0)^3}{( 1 - \phi |
|
...
where
| LaTeX Math Block |

| {\rm FZI} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{F_S} \, S_{gV} \, \tau } |
|
where
The alternative form is derived from the correlation which is valid in some practical cases:

|
\frac{1}{\sqrt{F_S} \, S_{gV}} \approx 0.0037 \cdot d |
where

so that Absolute permeability is going to be:

---|
|
k = \frac{d^2}{72 \cdot \tau^2} \cdot \frac{(\phi -\phi_0)^3}{( 1 - \phi+\phi_0)^2} |
where
This correlation was historical the first physical permeability model, based on the fluid flow in porous media with simplified structure consisted of a bunch of independent capillaries with various diameters.
Later on it's been upgraded to percolation through inter-grain porous space which specifies the the Flow Zone Indicator
as a function of grains
shape, size distribution
, grain shape and
packing.The most popular correlation with a mean grain size
is given as: LaTeX Math Block |

|
FZI = a \cdot D_g |
where coefficient
is a function of grain shape, packing
, inter-grain clay and, as a consequence, of inter-grain effective porosity .
