Scale-dependent permeability and formation factor in porous media: Applications of percolation theory

Misagh Esmaeilpour et al.

Summary: Understanding the scale dependence of porous media properties is crucial for predicting the changes in permeability and formation factor at small scales. By combining pore-network modeling and percolation theory, accurate estimations of the scale dependence of permeability and formation factor in porous media can be achieved. The proposed theoretical models showed reasonable estimation of the scale dependence of permeability and formation factor in the studied pore-networks, with calculated relative errors ranging from -3.7% to 4.04%.

Characterizing locality- and scale-dependent heterogeneity in conglomerate core and associated fluid flow using X-ray CT imaging

Gidon Han et al.

Summary: The study analyzed two conglomerate cores using X-ray CT and found that different distributions of matrix and clasts can lead to variations in pore volume and permeability. It is important to carefully evaluate the impact of small-scale heterogeneity on heterogeneous conglomerate cores.

Porosity-Permeability Evolution During Simultaneous Mineral Dissolution and Precipitation

Mollie S. Sabo et al.

Summary: The study investigates the evolution of permeability in reactive porous media where mineral dissolution and precipitation occur simultaneously. By simulating reactions in different spatial distributions, it is found that the location of dissolution and precipitation reactions affects the changes in porosity and permeability, which differ from the results obtained by macroscopic equations.

How pore structure non-stationarity compromises flow properties representativity (REV) for soil samples: Pore-scale modelling and stationarity analysis

Kirill M. Gerke et al.

Summary: This study explores the representativity of soil samples through pore-scale flow simulations and REV analysis, revealing that traditional soil core samples are not representative, and that the REV concept is broader than previously anticipated.
