[case] RelativePermeabilityGeneralizedPowerNonwettingPhase

A simple relative permeability function proposed by Kent S GeneralizedPower [39].

Definition:

\[ k_{\text{rel}} =\text{multiplier} \left(1-S^{\text{eff}}\right)^{\text{exponent}}\]

where \(S^{\text{eff}}\) is the effective saturation of the non-wetting phase.

This class handles the non-wetting (gas) phase portion of this relative permeability property for the relative permeability function.

This property must be a medium property, it computes the permeability reduction due to saturation as function of capillary pressure.
