Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 6:
7. An apparatus for in-situ estimation and dynamic visualization of a plurality of characteristics of a porous medium, the apparatus comprising:
an input source for inputting data from computer-aided simulations and real-time core flooding experiments;
an embedded hardware unit comprising of a processor running a prediction model with inferences of porous medium samples, and
a human-machine interface comprising a display unit for displaying the estimated plurality of characteristics of the porous medium and an input unit for accepting commands from a user;
wherein the input source is in real-time communication with the embedded hardware unit and the display unit and the apparatus reduces a total analysis time taken for characterizing the porous medium, and accelerates characterizing two-phase flow analysis of the porous medium; and
wherein the estimated plurality of characteristics of the porous medium is based on a Machine Learning (ML) inferences trained based on real-time offline simulations running on the embedded hardware unit.
