Frequency-Dependent Streaming Potential of Porous Media—Part 2: Experimental Measurement of Unconsolidated Materials

Figure 1

(a) The measured waveforms (streaming potential, fluid pressure and piston position (LVDT)) at 20 Hz. (b) The calculated streaming potential coupling coefficient as a function of piston amplitude at 10 Hz for Ottawa sand saturated with 10−3 mol/L NaCl solution at 24°C ,  m2). The errors in the frequency were calculated from the analysis of a train of approximately 500 cycles, while the errors in the streaming potential coupling coefficient were calculated from the errors in the RMS streaming potential and the measured RMS pressure difference (500 cycles).
