Concept of effective suction for describing hysteresis of multiphase pressure–saturation relationship in porous media
A novel approach is proposed to capture the hysteresis of the suction - degree of saturation (ψ-S) relationship of three–phase fluids in porous media. Effective suction ψ′ is defined such that it incorporates the delay in the variation in the degrees of saturation due to the hysteresis, with its mov...
