This review focuses on how the modeling of dense granular media has advanced over the
last 15 years. The jum**-off point of our review is the μ (I) rheology for dry granular flow …

Geological storage of CO 2 is a promising technique to mitigate anthropogenic CO 2
emissions. The effectiveness of CO 2 storage in the subsurface formations relies on various …

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

This paper presents a numerical study of the packing of nonspherical particles by the use of
the discrete element method. The shapes considered are oblate and prolate spheroids, with …

The geometrical and topological configurations of particles have great influences on their
surrounding pore tortuosity and the permeability of granular‐porous media. In this work, we …

This paper presents a method within the family of the discrete element method (DEM)
capable of accurately capturing grain shape by using Non-Uniform Rational Basis-Splines …

Independent from their intended purpose, the understanding of structural characteristics of
random packings of particles having defined shapes is important to understand and optimize …

Carbonate rocks display complex pore textures with heterogeneities that extend over
several length scales. Identifying and capturing their significant pore space properties in a …

Macroscopic properties of granular materials are important in modeling a variety of flow and
transport phenomena in many fields of science. Determination of these parameters has …

We present a data-driven framework to study the relationship between fluid flow at the
macroscale and the internal pore structure, across the micro-and mesoscales, in porous …
