chemical transport

Image-based modelling can be used to analyse mass transfer phenomena through porous media, with particular applications to reservoir rock pore-throats networks. The aim of these analyses is to improve our understanding and characterisation of the way fluids move through variable pore-scales.

Using real geometries from micro-CT, this project involved generating a 3D model in Simpleware software for visualisation and processing prior to meshing and export to COMSOL Multiphysics® for studying chemical transport mechanisms.
