“…If these cavities are closed, the mass transfer creates a compression in one cavity and a decompression in the other, thereby generating an electroosmotic pressure AP. As with streaming potential, the steady state electroosmotic pressure is linearly proportional to the applied voltage, and the proportionality constant is denoted [Amaefule et al, 1986], the onset of inertial (i.e., "turbulent") effects at high flow rates [Geertsma, 1974], or not having adequate time for the steady state fluid flow profile to become fully established in low-permeability samples [Morgan et al, 1989]. If the sample under test has a rigid structure and permeability that is not too low, linearity in Ks can persist with applied pressures as large as 100 kPa and perhaps higher [Ishido and Mizutani, 1981; Jouniaux and Pozzi, 1995].…”
