Oil pollution can reduce effective porosity of porous medium, and may make surface wettability changed, which consequently change of the characteristics of capillary water movement in the unsaturated zone. In this paper, indoor standpipe method is used to study capillary water movement in diesel and engine oil-contaminated coarse sand, as well as the effect of oil pollution on porous medium capillarity. The kinetics of capillary rise and characteristics of vertical water distribution in capillarity zone were both obtained. The stable capillary rise heights of the coarse sand were also measured with different oil contents. Moreover, relational expressions between stable capillarity rise heights and oil contents were established as well.
