Lattice Boltzmann modeling and evaluation of fluid flow in heterogeneous porous media involving multiple matrix constituents
Quantitative modeling of detailed heterogeneous porous media flow involving multiple permeable minerals. Investigating sample size effects on the permeability variation and the flow flux. Evaluating characteristic information at the representative element volume (REV) scale for the macroscale reference. Providing meaningful REV scale parameters for relative up-scaling research. 2D/3D applications in porous flows involving quartz, clay, feldspar and cavities.
