Table 1

Measured or predicted transition frequency for dynamic streaming potential and permeability, for samples of porosity , formation factor , permeability , and half of the mean particle size , from (SED) Smeulders et al. [61], (CKS) Charlaix et al. [62], (SG) Sears and Groves [63], (P) Packard [59], (TGR) Tardif et al. [64], and (RMLJ) Reppert et al. [60]. *indicates predicted transition frequency from (3) and **Indicates the transition frequency computed by the authors.
