Pulsed field gradient NMR measurements of probability distribution of displacement under flow in sphere packings.
In this work we used the PFG NMR displacement technique to investigate the transport of water particles under flow through a model porous media. Using different sizes of sphere for monodisperse glass sphere packings, we measured the probability distribution of displacement for mean displacements ranging from 0.08 to 7.3 times the characteristic length of the porous media. We observed, therefore, the transition between the velocity probability distribution and the Gaussian-shaped distribution of classical dispersion.
