Increasing interest in physical properties of rocks for purposes such as reservoir engineering
and environmental geophysics has stimulated increased use of computer modeling of rock …

Pore scale variables (eg, porosity, grain size) are important indexes to predict the hydraulic
properties of porous geomaterials. X-ray images from ten types of intact sandstones and …

Visual understanding of air and particle flow is important and useful in guiding biomass
combustor design. This study investigates the effects of declination angles of tangential and …

Mercury porosimetry is utilized primarily in the oil industry to determine the pore size
distribution of rock samples. During the process, mercury is forced into the sample with …

Large‐scale expansion of failure areas in rocks surrounding underground cavities causes
severe destruction of the underground space and may trigger serious disasters. To study the …

Long-term evolution of permeability and tortuosity due to porosity changes evoked by
reactivity of aqueous solutions is of paramount importance for predicting waterrock …

We investigate hierarchical physical systems/processes which include multiple scales
(elements of different sizes often ranging through several orders of magnitude): percolation …

A self-similarity relationship to the fractal dimension of 3D pigeon-hole rock models has
been obtained by applying the box-counting fractal dimension. Self-similarity is a …
