Abstract Image-Based Simulation (IBSim) is the process by which a digital representation of
a real geometry is generated from image data for the purpose of performing a simulation …

A homogenization approach for the simulation of multi-phase flows in heterogeneous
porous media is presented. It is based on the lattice Boltzmann method and combines the …

Soil structure is a crucial soil physical property that determines a soil's ability to support the
growth and development of plants. Soil compaction modifies soil structure by reducing pore …

Achieving food security requires resilient agricultural systems with improved nutrient-use
efficiency, optimized water and nutrient storage in soils, and reduced gaseous emissions …

Soil delivers fundamental ecosystem functions via interactions between physical and
biological processes mediated by soil structure. The structure of soil is also dynamic and …

Linking structure and functions in agricultural soils Page 378 CHAPTER SIX Linking structure
and functions in agricultural soils H.-J. Vogel*, U. Weller, and S. Schlüter Department of Soil …

Aggregates are functional units to describe the impact of soil structural changes on physical
and biogeochemical processes in soil. Both incubation and field experiments have shown …

Soil structure is an indicator of soil quality and its alterations following cropping system
conversion or fertilization change evolve slowly. How such alterations vary with scale …

Tortuosity is a parameter characterising the complexity of pore geometry in porous media for
fluids and solutes to move through. It is loosely defined and has been calculated by different …

Dissolution and precipitation of rock matrix are one of the most important processes of
geological CO 2 sequestration in reservoirs. They change connections of pore channels and …
