A Parallel Simulator for Mercury (Hg) Porosimetry
نویسندگان
چکیده
A parallel simulator, based on the Dual Site-Bond Model of complex media, is developed to study Hg intrusion and extrusion processes in the myriad of voids contained in a porous network. In order to reduce the requirements in RAM and computing resources, the porous network is partitioned into several sub-networks distributed in different cluster processors. The simulator uses shared memory to process (with OpenMP) each sub-network and applies a message passing protocol (with MPI) to allow communication among different processors. We show experimental results that reflect a good performance of our proposal when using different sizes of porous networks in a cluster with 32 nodes, each one having 4 processors.

Characterization of the pore structure of reservoir rocks with the aid of serial sectioning analysis, mercury porosimetry and network simulation
Processes of ̄uid transport through underground reservoirs are closely related with microscopic properties of the pore structure. In the present work, a relatively simple method is developed for the determination of the topological and geometrical parameters of the pore space of sedimentary rocks, in terms of chamber-and-throat networks. Several parameters, such as the chamber-diameter distribu...

The aim of this project was to enhance the current state of knowledge of the void structure of paper, and pigments used to coat paper. The porosities and pore size distributions of consolidated pigments were measured using mercury porosimetry. Prior to this work, mercury porosimetry was rarely used in this field due to problems associated with the conventional interpretation of mercury porosime...

Copper (Cu) and mercury (Hg) enter aquatic ecosystems from different sources threatening health of aquatic organisms such as fish. As such, in this investigation, determinaing, Cu and Hg toxic concentration in Caspian roach (Rutilus rutilus caspicus), was undertaken. Acute toxicity of Cu and Hg were determined in fish specimen under semi-static condition. Caspian roach fry (~ 1 g) were exp...

As the electrochemical method, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Stripping Cyclic Voltammetry detection method was designed for measurement and monitoring of adsorbed mercury ions by new modified adsorbent based on mesoporous silica as a new adsorbent. In this respect, SBA-15 as mesoporous silica and 1, 3, 5 Trithiane as effective modifier ligand were chosen, and the modification process was car...
