n: the rise and fall of liquids in small-diameter tubes or tubelike spaces, caused by the combined action of surface tension (cohesion) and wetting (adhesion). See capillary pressure.

n: a pressure or adhesive force caused by the surface tension of water. This pressure causes the water to adhere more tightly to the surface of small pore spaces than to larger ones. Capillary pressure in a rock formation is comparable to the pressure of water that rises higher in a small glass capillary tube than it does in a larger tube.

n: The pressure or adhesive force produced by surface tension of water.

pressure differential between two immiscible fluid phases occupying the same pores caused by interfacial tension between the two phases that must be overcome to initiate flow.

the pressure necessary to achieve a given non-wetting fluid saturation of a rock.
