Dance me through the end of the pore
by Rune M Holt, NTNU & SINTEF and Pål-Eric Øren, Numerical Rocks
From the land of a lonely pore next to a solid grain We digest their contacts - squeeezed by contracts - With courage and pain we compute the strain and derive the strength of a full sized core! It is not in vain - maybe it’s insane - But one day we may capture the reservoirs - built by discrete balls, surrounded by walls, seismic waves moving in a silent waltz. Our dream is to model the Earth and the Stars!
The presentation will focus on current research performed in order to compute stress dependent petrophysical and rock mechanical parameters based on 3D microstructure generated from µCT or synchrotron data.
