Defining permeability

Permeability is the relationship between the volumetric flow rate per unit area of a particular wetting liquid through a porous medium and the gradient of the effective fluid pressure.

You can use the Edit Material dialog box to define certain aspects of permeability.

For more information, see Permeability.
