Abstract
We present two methods how the permeability in porous microstructures can be experimentally obtained from particle tracking velocimetry of finite-sized colloidal particles suspended in a liquid. The first method employs additional unpatterned reference channels where the liquid flow can be calculated theoretically and a relationship between the velocity of the particles and the liquid is obtained. The second method takes advantage of a time-dependent pressure drop that leads to an exponential decrease in the particle velocity inside a porous structure. From the corresponding decay time, the permeability can be calculated independently of the particle size. Both methods lead to results comparable with permeabilities derived from numerical simulations.
