For two immiscible co-existing fluids in porous media, the one with the lower interfacial

tension is the wetting phase, while the other is the non-wetting phase. There is a definite
relationship between the solid/wetting phase interfacial tension, the solid/non-wetting phase
interfacial tension, and the wetting/non-wetting phase interfacial tension. The Young-Dupres
equation (Equation 2.1) expresses this relationship.
