A Numerical Study of the Coupled Evolutions of Micro-Geometry and Transport Properties of Simple 3D Porous Media

  • Chapter
Computational Methods for Flow and Transport in Porous Media

Part of the book series: Theory and Applications of Transport in Porous Media ((TATP,volume 17))

Abstract

Simulating, understanding and predicting the evolution during mineral diagenesis of porous rocks physical properties is a very complex problem. When properties like effective diffusivity, formation factor or permeability are considered interest can be mainly focussed on the coupled evolutions of micro-geometry and transport properties.
