Reservoir rocks contain huge amounts of tortuous, rambling, and interconnected pores of all sizes and shapes. So, this complexity rock pore space entails a simplification of it for the study of the multiphase flowing within reservoir rocks. Usually, we simplify the miscellaneous pores and channels into a capillary model, regarding the pore-channels as capillary tubes wherein the internal diameter varies along the tube and the internal wall is coarse. In this chapter, we will deal with capillary pressure characteristics of the multiphase fluids in porous mediums.
