Tortuosity is widely used as a critical parameter to predict transport properties of porous
media, such as rocks and soils. But unlike other standard microstructural properties, the …

The use of X-ray microtomographic (XMT) methods in analysing particulate systems has
expanded rapidly in recent years with the availability of affordable desk-top apparatus. This …

We describe a parallel lattice-Boltzmann code for efficient simulation of fluid flow in complex
geometries. The lattice-Boltzmann model and the structure of the code are discussed. The …

Understanding of the transport properties of porous rocks is important for safe nuclear waste
disposal because harmful contaminated groundwater can migrate along pore spaces over …

Permeable pavement functions as a porous infrastructure interface allowing the infiltration
and evaporation of rainfall–runoff while functioning as a relatively smooth load-bearing …

Reservoir deformations due to stress changes may have a substantial impact on the
effective flow properties of reservoir rocks, which may potentially impact productivity and …

A reactive flow-through experiment by carbon dioxide-saturated water at the partial pressure
of 0.1 MPa and room temperature was conducted on a porous limestone in order to identify …

The lattice Boltzmann method has proven to be a promising method to simulate flow in
porous media. Its practical application often relies on parallel computation because of the …

The micro-continuum method is a novel approach to simulate flow and transport in
multiscale porous materials. For such materials, the domain can be divided into three sub …

The significance of water flow behavior as one of the main properties of pervious pavements
has long been recognized. However, the quantification of flow characteristics and the …
