The volume fraction of a constituent is its occupied volume divided by total sample volume. Fractions sum to one for a partition into phases. In a statistically homogeneous medium the phase fraction also equals the probability that a typical point lies in that phase, under the appropriate spatial or ensemble averaging assumptions.
