Pressure Saturation Curves and the Critical Volume Fraction for Percolation
The pressure-saturation curves of porous media give fundamental information about the pore space. In equilibrium, ignoring effects due to hysteresis,...

Effects of Multi-Scale Heterogeneity
It is generally agreed that problems with multi-scale heterogeneity present the biggest challenge to computation and understanding. A few such...

Basic Constitutive Relations for Unsaturated Media
The following sections describe how to find the hydraulic conductivity, air permeability, electrical conductivity, as well as solute and gas...
-
Percolation Theory
Percolation describes properties related to the connectivity of large numbers of objects which individually have some spatial extent, and for which...

Applications of the Cluster Statistics
This chapter presents a conceptually straightforward treatment of spatial correlations of “random” heterogeneous media, but does not intend to...

Seepage-related characteristics of weak interlayer suffering from a physically-chemically mediated erosion in grotto relics
The coexistence of the weak interlayer and groundwater could give rise to an undesirable geological condition, resulting in seepage-induced hazards,...

Analysis of rock microstructure after CO2 breakthrough based on CT scanning
The alteration of mudstone’s microscopic properties within the caprock in CO 2 geological storage determines the effect of storage. One of the crucial...
