ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining the wettability of a porous media, such as bone, plant, food, wood or molecular sieves, etc., having two or more fluids. The method of the present invention correlates a diffusion-relaxation calibration function representative of at least one fluid in the porous media with a 2-D function developed using diffusion-editing to determine wettability of the porous media.
