Digital Rock Physics
Examine current modalities used in imaging porous medium structure, transport within, or its deformation. Discuss the analysis and visualization of 2D or 3D images, quantifying properties of interest (such as porosity, tortuosity, areas or permeability) as well as the associated uncertainty. Delve into a combination of advanced image analysis algorithms, scientific visualization, and computation (based on the images). Explore digital rock physics: the images, their analysis, and using them in simulation of petrophysical properties of interest. Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering 383 (Topic: Digital Rock Petrophysics) and 383 (Topic 68) may not both be counted.
