Pore network models have been applied widely for simulating a variety of different physical
and chemical processes, including phase exchange, non-Newtonian displacement, non …

Methodology for analysis of meso-structure effects on longer-scale mechanical response of
concrete is developed. Efficient algorithms for particle generation and packing are proposed …

Pore network models (PNMs) offer a computationally efficient way to analyse transport in
porous media. Their effectiveness depends on how well they represent the topology and …

Concrete is a complex heterogeneous material, and thus, it is important to develop
numerical modeling methods to enhance the prediction accuracy of the fracture mechanism …

Processes of sorption and diffusion play a critical role in the analysis and simulation of coal
seam gas (CSG) reservoirs since most of the gas reserves are held by the coal matrix. Thus …

Abstract Changes of morphological parameters of oil shale under thermal conditions are
investigated. Analyses are based on 26 micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) images of …

Fluid flow in shale is governed by various flow mechanisms in different pores, which can be
attributed to the complex pore structure within the matrix and the surrounding mineral …

As a contribution to the safety assessment of nuclear waste repositories, U (VI) diffusion
through the potential buffer material MX-80 bentonite was investigated at three clay dry …

Foamed concrete's unique mesoscale porous structures influence its mechanical
performance. This study adopted peridynamics method to build the three-dimensional (3-D) …

Accurately characterizing the pore structure of Tamusu mudstone and simulating fluid flow
within it are crucial for assessing underground disposal of high-level radioactive waste …
