Fluid flow and mass transport in geological materials are crucial in diverse Earth science
applications. To fully understand the behavior of geological materials in this context, the …

The analysis of microstructural characteristics and evolution of asphalt mixtures is essential
due to their impact on the macroscopic performance of the pavement. X-ray Computed …

Hydrocarbon production, gas recovery from shale, CO2 storage and water management
have a common scientific underpinning: multiphase flow in porous media. This book …

Obtaining structural information from tomographic images of porous materials is a critical
component of porous media research. Extracting pore networks is particularly valuable since …

Abstract In this paper, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are trained to rapidly estimate
several physical properties of porous media using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) …

Cement-based materials are generally highly heterogeneous, and their material properties
are strongly affected by the characteristics and spatial distributions of each constituent …

This paper examines the so-called capillary performance of a freeform porous structure
fabricated by advanced 3D metal printing technology. The fabricated structure is intended as …

Imaging and image analysis of shale provides insights into the pore and fracture networks,
disposition of compositional elements, and signatures of diagenesis and fluid flow …

In this paper, a permeability calculation workflow is presented that couples pore network
modeling (PNM) with a Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) to benefit from the strengths of both …

A generalized network extraction workflow is developed for parameterizing three-
dimensional (3D) images of porous media. The aim of this workflow is to reduce the …
