Tortuosity is widely used as a critical parameter to predict transport properties of porous
media, such as rocks and soils. But unlike other standard microstructural properties, the …

Hydrocarbons exist in abundant quantity beneath the earth's surface. These hydrocarbons
are generally classified as conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons depending upon …

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) …

Imbibition in porous media plays a crucial role in many engineering and industrial
processes, such as enhanced oil recovery and groundwater contamination remediation …

During soil formation, the interaction of different biota (plants, soil fauna, microbes) with
weathered mineral material shapes unique structures depending on the parental material …

Wettability is one of the key controlling parameters for multiphase flow in porous media, and
paramount for various geoscience applications. While a general awareness of the …

Soil structure plays an important role in edaphic conditions and the environment. In this
study, we investigated the effects of organic amendment on soil structure and hydraulic …

Hypothesis The wetting behaviour is a key property of a porous medium that controls
hydraulic conductivity in multiphase flow. While many porous materials, such as …

Segmentation of 3D micro-Computed Tomographic (μ CT) images of rock samples is
essential for further Digital Rock Physics (DRP) analysis, however, conventional methods …

Contradictory evidence exists regarding whether and to which extend roots change soil
structure in their vicinity. Here we attempt to reconcile disparate views allowing for the two …
