Abstract

Strain-sensitive characteristics of porous media are studied through micro-CT imaging and numerical simulations. First, high-fidelity Discrete Element Method (DEM) models are constructed for practical porous media based on micro-CT images. These DEM models prioritize the overall system morphology ov...
