From the known statistics of fiber-fiber contacts in random fiber networks, an analytic estimate is obtained for the variance of local porosity in random fiber suspensions and evolving filtrate networks. The variance of local porosity, and hence the distribution of projected areal density, seem to depend on fiber geometry only through the cube of mean diameter. Also, the coefficient of variatio...

We have analyzed two laboratory datasets obtained on high-porosity rock samples from the North Sea. The velocities observed are unusual in that they seem to disagree with some simple models based on porosity. On the other hand, the rocks are unusually poorly-cemented (for laboratory studies, at least), and we investigate the likelihood that this is the cause of the disagreement. One set of rock...

DHI-Mike Software is one of best softwares describing water wave diffraction in onshore/offshore concepts. Diffraction happens due to obstacles along wave direction and has an important role in designing structures. The scope of this study is to show the relation between Porosity Coefficient and its effects on Diffraction Coefficient (Cd) by means of a suitable and verified numerical model. Por...

for obtaining reservoir petrophysical properties, for example porosity, non-destructive methods such as x-ray computed tomography, ct, seems to be precise and accurate. porosity is deducted from the ct image with a single scan via different techniques, such as pore space detection by image segmentation techniques then correlation with porosity. more than one hundred samples with carbonate li...

We employ a simple model to describe the phase behavior of 4He and Ar in a hypothetical porous material consisting of a regular array of infinitely long, solid, parallel cylinders. We find that high porosity geometries exhibit two transitions: from vapor to film and from film to capillary condensed liquid. At low porosity, the film is replaced by a "necking" configuration, and for a range of in...

We have investigated the role of the penetration of saline on the shear strength of the cement-stem interface for stems inserted at room temperature and those preheated to 37 degrees C using a variety of commercial bone cements. Immersion in saline for two weeks at 37 degrees C reduced interfacial strength by 56% to 88% after insertion at room temperature and by 28% to 49% after preheating of t...

Porosity is one of the key parameters associated with oil reservoirs. Determination of this petrophysical parameter is an essential step in reservoir characterization. Among different linear and nonlinear prediction tools such as multi-regression and polynomial curve fitting, artificial neural network has gained the attention of researchers over the past years. In the present study, two-dimensi...
