Digital rock analysis has become increasingly crucial in earth sciences and geological engineering. However, the multiscale characteristics of rock pores often exceed the capabilities of single-resolution imaging, which is inadequate for a comprehensive description of their characteristics. To address this issue, we introduce a novel multiscale rock image fusion framework based on a generative adversarial

Pore network models to determine the flow statistics and structural controls for single-phase flow in partially saturated porous media Adv. Water Resour. (IF 4.0) Pub Date : 2024-09-06 Ilan Ben-Noah, Juan J. Hidalgo, Marco Dentz
We study the abilities of pore network models of different complexities to determine the flow statistics and structural controls for single-phase flow in partially saturated porous media. The medium permeability and hydraulic tortuosity are the basic parameters for upscaling flow problems from the pore to the Darcy scale. They represent average flow properties. However, upscaling and predicting dispersion
