Aj. Ramirez-cuesta et al., On modeling, simulation and statistical properties of realistic three dimensional porous networks, J POROUS MA, 8(1), 2001, pp. 61-76
The basis for modeling and simulation of self-consistent porous networks en
compassing pore and throat-size distributions, size correlation and non-uni
form connectivity are given. The framework is a straightforward generalizat
ion of the Dual Site-Bond Description (DD) of Ref. (J. Chem. Soc. Faraday T
rans I 84, 801 (1988)), which considers heterogeneity (size distribution of
entities), correlation and connectivity as interdependent characteristics
of the porous space. A general and technically simple method for Monte Carl
o simulation of three-dimensional networks is presented and exemplified. St
atistical and topological properties of simulated networks are shown and an
alyzed.
