The employment of 2D models to investigate the properties of 3D flows in porous media is
ubiquitous in the literature. The limitations of such approaches are often overlooked. Here …

This study first reviews the influence of grain size on the permeability of porous granular
media in comparison to other factors, especially the sorting of grain size distribution, in order …

Recent research on unlocking the solvent dispersion as a physical blending process in
porous media has been mainly focused on core-scale observations. Pore-level studies of …

Permeability k and formation factor F are important petrophysical properties that have broad
applications to reservoir engineering. Although well-log analysis has advanced reservoir …

The through-plane permeability is of great importance for understanding the transport
phenomenon in anisotropic fibrous porous material. In this paper, a novel pore-scale model …

The tortuosity of porous solids has been widely used as a basic concept in understanding
the fluid flow capacity of these media. Starting from a geometric expression of the tortuosity …

The traditional pore structure classification scheme separates the qualitative pore origin
classification from the quantitative pore structure parameter classification. This separation …

The electrical conduction of reservoir rocks is crucial for estimating hydrocarbon and water
saturation. The dependence of the electrical formation factor as a key parameter of electrical …

Although there is an analogy between electrical and thermal conductivities, rock electrical
parameters are mostly related to the pore system, whereas thermophysical properties mostly …

Accurate characterization of pore-scale structures of porous media is necessary for studying
their transport mechanisms and properties. An analytical model for pore and capillary …
