5 Weighted geometric mean model for determining thermal conductivity of reservoir
rocks: current problems with applicability and the model modification terms
This glossary is devoted to the article "weighted geometric mean model for determining thermal conductivity of reservoir
rocks: current problems with applicability and the model modification". I want to improve my vocabulary via it.
Applicability
Noun
The fact of affecting or relating to a person or thing:
Example: It means that the
applicability of the weighted geometric mean model for determining the thermal conductivity of reservoir
rocks creates a serious risk of essential errors in the predicted data that requires revision and improvement
of the theoretical model.

Conductivity
Noun
Conductivity may refer to:
Electrical conductivity, a measure of a material's ability to conduct an electric current;
Conductivity (electrolytic), the electrical conductivity of an electrolyte in solution;
Ionic conductivity (solid state), electrical conductivity due to ions moving position in a crystal lattice;
Hydraulic conductivity, a property of a porous material's ability to transmit water;
Thermal conductivity, an intensive property of a material that indicates its ability to conduct heat.
Example: Thermal conductivity is one of the fundamental physical parameters of rocks used in all fields of Earth
science related to heat transfer in formations.

Interrelations
Noun
Connections between something
Example: Interrelations were studied
between the correction factor, rock types, pore fluid, and pore space characteristic - aspect ratio.
ru: Взаимосвязи
Spatial
Adjective
Relating to or occupying space.
Example: Spatial and temporal changes in the bulk thermal conductivity of rocks can be caused by variations in
the mineral composition, porosity and void space geometry, thermal resistance in the areas of intergranular
contacts, pressure, temperature, and pore fluid properties.

Underestimate
Verb
To fail to guess or understand the real cost, size, difficulty, etc. of something:
Example: We demonstrate that the model systematically underestimates the predicted thermal conductivity relative to the experimental results
obtained from the thermal conductivity measurements on 20 collections of 1765 samples represented by
sandstones, limestone dolomites, limestones, siltstones, and argillites in various saturation states.
