Figure 3.7 Scheme of 1-D profile measurement for layered mixture of water and
diluted bitumen
The bottom part of the figure shows water/ oil fraction profiles of the sample.
The red line shows water saturation/ fraction profile of layered mixture. On the top
water fraction is zero, which reveals bulk oil layer (green part). Water fraction at
the bottom is one, corresponding to bulk water layer (blue part).
