Investigating 3D Geometry of Porous Media from High Resolution Images
We present spatial distributions for pore path length and coordination number, pore throat size and nodal pore volume obtained for a 1:53 mm3 volume of 12.1% porosity Fontainebleau sandstone. The sandstone was imaged using Synchrotron X-Ray computed microtomography at 6 micron resolution. The spatial distributions were computed based upon three dimensional medial axis analysis of the void space...
متن کاملTortuosity-porosity relation in porous media flow.
We study numerically the tortuosity-porosity relation in a microscopic model of a porous medium arranged as a collection of freely overlapping squares. It is demonstrated that the finite-size, slow relaxation and discretization errors, which were ignored in previous studies, may cause significant underestimation of tortuosity. The simple tortuosity calculation method proposed here eliminates th...
متن کاملHydraulic tortuosity in arbitrary porous media flow.
Tortuosity (T) is a parameter describing an average elongation of fluid streamlines in a porous medium as compared to free flow. In this paper several methods of calculating this quantity from lengths of individual streamlines are compared and their weak and strong features are discussed. An alternative method is proposed, which enables one to calculate T directly from the fluid velocity field,...
متن کاملComparison of Network Generation Techniques for Unconsolidated Porous Media
First, we discuss network models and techniques for determining the pore-scale properties and characterisWhile network models of porous materials have traditionally been tics; second, we describe the regular and random porous constructed using regular or disordered lattices, recent developments allow the direct modeling of more realistic structures such as sphere media systems used to validate ...
متن کاملNonlinear Biot waves in porous media with application to unconsolidated granular media.
The nonlinear propagation through porous media is investigated in the framework of Biot theory. For illustration, and considering the current interest for the determination of the elastic properties of granular media, the case of nonlinear propagation in "model" granular media (disordered packings of noncohesive elastic beads of the same size embedded in a visco-thermal fluid) is considered. Th...
