Abstract
Computed microtomography is applied to a piece of Fontainebleau sandst one in order to determine the geometrical structure of the pores. The topology of the void space is then derived from the tomographic image of the volume. Permeability and conductivity are computed and found in good agreement with experimental data. Perspectives offered by this n ew nondestructive method with a potential resolution of the order of o ne micrometer or less are analyzed.
