If the diameter of the pores are put in as meters, what are the units of the capillary pressure? |

Everything should ideally be in SI units. So R in m, surface tension in N/m, gives capillary pressure in Pa. Sticking to SI throughout the code is recommended. Unfortunately there is not a good way to enforce units with numpy arrays. All the units packages have some shortcomings that we can't accept. |
