When two immiscible fluids co-exist in the same pore space, one preferentially adheres to

the rock surface. This phenomenon is known as wetting, and the fluid that is preferentially
attracted is referred to as having a higher wettability index. The parameter which
determines the wettability index is called adhesion tension, and it is directly related to
interfacial tension.
