Percolation

Percolation (from Latin percolo - to filter) is the process of percolation of liquid or gas through a porous medium.

In percolation, a liquid or gas moves through the voids and pores of a solid under the influence of gravity, capillary forces, or a pressure gradient. The main factors influencing percolation are the pore size, their shape and spatial distribution.

Percolation is widely used in filtration, oil and gas extraction from reservoirs, and in many technological processes. It allows you to separate a liquid or gas from a solid material and clean it of impurities.

Mathematically, percolation is described using percolation theory, which studies the behavior of connected clusters in random environments. This theory is widely used in physics and chemistry.

Percolation

Percolation is a phenomenon in which a liquid or gas passes through porous media such as sand, filters or strainers. When liquid enters the filter, it begins to seep through the pores and gradually fills the entire surface of the filter. Thus, the liquid penetrates through all the pores on the surface of the filter and passes through
