3D characterization of complex pore-networks of carbonate rocks from sub-micron to centimeter scale Ghent University
Traditional pore classification systems in geomaterials rely on subjective 2D descriptions of 3D pore structures. Recent developments in CT and image analysis research allow characterisation of complex pore-networks in 3D from sub-micron to centimetre scale, as encountered in carbonate rocks. The possibility to quantify this 3D porosity urges for the formulation of a new pore classification system, based on the 3D characteristics of pores and ...
