Abstract
LABORATORY investigations of fluids moving through porous materials have been handicapped by the lack of direct methods of measuring fluid content without disturbing flow. Investigations of flow in porous media have been dependent on the properties of the particular tracer used to follow the flow. Experiments using labelled fluid have been criticized on the grounds that the movement of the tracer may not completely reflect the movement of the fluid.
