Accurately and efficiently predicting the permeability of porous media is essential for addressing a wide range of hydrogeological issues. However, the complexity of porous media often limits the effectiveness of individual prediction methods. This study introduces a novel Particle Swarm Optimization-based Permeability Integrated Prediction model (PSO-PIP), which incorporates a particle swarm o…
High-resolution digital rock micro-CT images captured from a wide field of view are essential for various geosystem engineering and geoscience applications. However, the resolution of these images is often constrained by the capabilities of scanners. To overcome this limitation and achieve superior image quality, advanced deep learning techniques have been used. This study compares four differe…
Tortuosity is an important geometrical parameter of the pore or grain network in a porous medium. Here we present and discuss an implementation of a plugin to estimate the pore/grain network tortuosity of a porous medium sample. The tortuosity is estimated according to the geometric reconstruction algorithm that can be applied to 2D or 3D μCT image samples. To illustrate the tortuosity plugin …
