TD 02

The document outlines a series of exercises related to petrophysics, focusing on the calculation of permeability, flow rates, and pressure variations in cylindrical core samples and porous media. It includes practical applications of Darcy's law, the measurement of absolute permeability, and the analysis of layered systems. Additionally, it discusses the relationship between porosity and permeability in a cubic porous medium with cylindrical tubes.
