Parallel Simulation of Pore Networks Using Multicore CPUs

Advanced and delayed filling or emptying of pore entities by vapor sorption or liquid intrusion in simulated porous networks

“…The evolution of capillary processes in porous media is more often than not subjected to the irruption of diverse sorts of cooperative and obstructive phenomena [1][2][3][4]. In the case of capillary condensation and evaporation, processes such as advanced and delayed adsorption, as well as cavitation, and pore blocking are examples of those phenomena.…”

“…In this work, the DSBM [2,[8][9][10] will be employed for the in silico simulation of pore networks. The fundamental basis of this model consists in grouping the void elements into two types (Fig.…”

On Grid Codes

“…In crystallography, (square) grids come up as part of the called Bravais lattices that contain unit cells encapsulating minimal replicating structures among crystal formations, similar to the mathematical concept of fundamental domain [28,33]. Materials with a 3D-dimensional grid shape arise in the study of the structure and properties of porous media; these last have diverse applications such as enhanced oil recovery and faster catalytic reactions, among others [9,27]. The Manhattan distance measures the separation between two points in a grid and can be found in diverse applications.…”
