Abstract
A three-dimensional digitized image of a porous magnetic gel is determ ined by x-ray microtomographic techniques. The complex connected pore- space topology is quantitatively characterized by measuring a variety of statistical correlation functions, including the chord-length distr ibution function, the pore-size distribution function, and the Lineal- path function. This structural information is then employed to estimat e transport properties, such as the fluid permeability and trapping ra te, of the gel.
