Inspection reliability of small-scale defects, targeting dimensions below 100 µm, is crucial for
structural safety of critical components in high-value applications. Early defects are often …

MicroComputed Tomography has become the gold standard for studying 3D microscopic
structures nondestructively, and this book provides up-to-date coverage of the modality. The …

Fluid flow characteristics are important to assess reservoir performance. Unfortunately,
laboratory techniques are inadequate to know these characteristics, which is why numerical …

Nonwoven coalescence filter media are often used in real-world applications to separate
droplet aerosols from a gas stream. While mechanisms like droplet deposition, liquid …

The saturated water flow phenomenon is determined by the soil pore transport processes
occurring at a micro-scale. In this study, saturated water flow was modeled using two …

Mining activities generate vast amounts of waste rock (WR); if this waste is sulphide-and
sulphosalt-bearing, it can pose a risk to ecosystems due to contaminated mine drainage …

In digital rock physics, the intrinsic permeability of a porous rock sample can be evaluated
from its micro-computed tomography (\upmu μ-CT) image through lattice Boltzmann method …

The spatial porosity and mineral distribution of geological materials strongly affects transport
processes in them. X-ray micro computed tomography (X-μCT) has proven to be a powerful …

Low-resolution and blurry computed tomography (CT) images of porous media will lose
useful details and may result in inaccurate evaluation of physical properties. Therefore …

Pore structure plays an essential role in fluid flow and solute transport in soils. In this study,
the physical, topological, and hydraulic properties of an Oxisol under two land uses, ie …
