An experimental measurement of the permeability of deformable porous media

A. Ambari , C. Amiel , B. Gauthier-Manuel , E. Guyon

The permeability of tenuous porous objects such as gels or aggregates formed by flocculation or on a filter surface must be measured in the presence of sufficiently weak flows not to perturb the solid structure. We have developed of differential permeability technique which we apply to the study of the formation of a chemical gel in time.
