MS 2.15: Modelling and Simulation of Porous Media: From Microstructure to Functionality

Oral 20 Minutes

Tomographic 3D imaging at the pore scale provides an accurate geometrical representation of the microstructure of porous networks in oil reservoir rocks. Flow simulation models deployed on top of such geometrical representation unveil a variety of phenomena and allow estimating oil recovery parameters as part of reservoir assessment, management and operation. Physical models based on...

MS 2.15: Modelling and Simulation of Porous Media: From Microstructure to Functionality

Oral 20 Minutes

Fibrous structures are present in many materials, including non-woven filter media used for filtration, carbon-fiber reinforced plastics or glass-fiber reinforced plastics used in mechanical applications, or gas-diffusion layers used in fuel cells. Spatial distribution, orientation, length, curvature and center line of fibers in materials like these are essential characteristics needed to know...

829. Capillary Suction Response of Granular Materials from Computed Tomography and Direct Numerical Simulations

MS 2.15: Modelling and Simulation of Porous Media: From Microstructure to Functionality

Oral 20 Minutes

The mechanical and hydraulic response of granular media in partially saturated conditions can be highly intricate and requires proper understanding at the pore scale. The response of partially saturated sands to complex loadings such as projectile penetration necessitates integrating capillary suction in the constitutive model framework. In this study, Soil Water Suction Curve (SWCC)...

316. Image analysis, microstructure generation and effective property estimation of cement-based materials used as radioactive waste confinement barriers

MS 2.15: Modelling and Simulation of Porous Media: From Microstructure to Functionality

Oral 20 Minutes

Transport through cement-based materials depends strongly on their3D microstructure. To evaluate transport and related processes at time and spatial scales beyond experimental data, and to gain in depth understanding of the critical role of the microstructure, numerical simulations are necessary. This, however, requires an accurate description of the 3D microstructures involved. However, for...

998. ¬Numerical Design of Porous Materials Using Adjustable Level-Cut Poison Field Method

MS 2.15: Modelling and Simulation of Porous Media: From Microstructure to Functionality

Oral 20 Minutes

Despite recent advances in synthesis and manufacturing of porous materials and devices, producing porous structures with targeted properties is still an expensive, trial-and-error procedure. Numerical porous media design is one of the possible ways to accelerate this process and to guide manufacturing.
Current numerical porous media design methodologies often include a random microstructure...
