Fig. 4. Gas–liquid interfacial surface area per bulk volume of a 40/50 grade of quartz sand as a function of effective aqueous-phase saturation, calculated using the Brooks–Corey water retention model with n = 0.332, {lambda}bc = 8.85, hb = 26.5 cm, {rho} = 0.993 g cm–3, g = 981 cm s–2, and {sigma} = 72.8 mN m–1.
