Shale microstructures control the capacity of the formation to store hydrocarbons and its fluid
flow. However, microstructural complexity and multiscale heterogeneity is a challenge in a …

Lithium-ion batteries are considered the most suitable option for powering electric vehicles
in modern transportation systems due to their high energy density, high energy efficiency …

The ideal non-collapse heated oil shale reservoir may lead to the maximum preservation of
pores and fractures. However, the previous research on the pore evolution during heating in …

In this paper, we report on experimental and computational studies investigating the
evolution of pore structure and permeability of a microporous carbonate rock during …

The pore-throat network of rock exerts a vital influence on the permeability and mechanical
properties of the rock. Resorting to X-ray micro-CT scanning, the present work investigates …

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is a widely used state-of-the-art instrument
employed to study the morphological structures of objects in various fields. Object-rotation is …

This paper conducts a critical evaluation of the applicability of traditional methods and
neural network-based methods in separating pore space from the matrix on computed …

We study the impact of reactive flow on a complex carbonate rock whose pore space was
resolved by X‐ray μ‐CT. A small core plug was imaged in the original and chemically …

As a kind of unique marine sediment, Calcareous sand exhibits high compressibility
because its irregular particle morphology leads to the formation of large interparticle voids …

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is an indispensable tool to provide attenuation-
based, high-resolution 3-D images in scientific research. However, its current available …
