Darcy permeability 
This measurement defines the capacity of a porous material to transmit fluids. Darcy's law is an equation that describes the flow of a fluid through a porous medium. The calculation in biological systems relies on a pressure gradient, the thickness of the material through which the fluid is proceeding, and the dynamic viscosity of the filtration solution.
