Abstract :
Regardless of whether we´re interested in extracting oil or gas from an underground reservoir, or wish to study how a contaminant may spread in an aquifer, we must be able to model flow and transport phenomena in large-scale porous media. However, such models can be predictive and, thus, useful only if we can characterize and model the LSPM´s morphology.
