Influence of sedimentary structure and pore-size distribution on upscaling permeability and flow enhancement due to liquid boundary slip: A pore-scale computational study
In this study, we utilize Monte Carlo methods and the Dual Site-Bond Model (DSBM) to simulate 3D nanoporous networks with various degrees of correlation. The construction procedure is robust, involving a random exchange of sites and bonds until the most probable configuration (equilibrium) is reached. The resulting networks demonstrate different levels of heterogeneity in the spatial organization of sites and bonds. We then embark on a comprehensive multifractal analysis of these networks, providing a thorough characterization of the effect of the exchanges of nanoporous elements and the correlation of pore sizes on the topology of the porous networks. Our findings present compelling evidence of changes in the multifractality of these nanoporous networks when they display different levels of correlation in the site and bond sizes.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
