Fluid flow and mass transport in geological materials are crucial in diverse Earth science
applications. To fully understand the behavior of geological materials in this context, the …

We present a review of pore-scale simulations of immiscible fluid transport with focus on two
of the most popular approaches: lattice Boltzmann modeling for direct simulations on digital …

We apply an accurate numerical scheme to solve for Stokes flow directly on binarized three-
dimensional rock images, such as those obtained by micro-CT imaging. The method …

A new robust algorithm analyzing the geometry and connectivity of the pore space of
sedimentary rock is based on fundamental concepts of mathematical morphology. The …

We present results from a systematic study of relative permeability functions derived from
two-phase lattice Boltzmann (LB) simulations on X-ray microtomography pore space images …

The Upper Cretaceous Mesaverde Group in the Piceance Basin, western Colorado,
contains thick sections of low porosity, low permeability sandstones that are reservoirs for …

X-ray imaging of porous media has revolutionized the interpretation of various microscale
phenomena in subsurface systems. The volumetric images acquired from this technology …

We present results from simulations of two-phase flow directly on digitized rock-
microstructure images of porous media using a lattice Boltzmann (LB) method. The …

Due to the extremely tiny pore size of tight gas and shale gas reservoir, the modified Darcy's
law in which the intrinsic permeability is replaced by the apparent permeability that can be …

We study through numerical simulations the dependence of the hydraulic permeability of
granular materials on the particle shape and the grain size distribution. Several models of …
