Doddington Sandstone Micro-CT Rock Scan at 4.2µm Resolution

A sample of Doddington Sandstone from a micro-computed tomography scan acquired with a voxel resolution of 4.2µm. This dataset is part of a study on the effects of voxel resolution in flow through porous media, aiming to upscale flow physics from pore to core scale. The data was provided by the British Geological Survey and last updated on 2026-04 09.

Use Cases

• Conduct pore-scale flow simulations based on the three-dimensional pore space images.
• Predict petrophysical properties like porosity and permeability based on the reconstructed 3D images.
• Study the resolution dependency of transport properties based on the micro-CT scans at different voxel sizes.
• Validate Lattice-Boltzmann or Pore-Network Modelling techniques based on the high-resolution rock structure data.

Strengths

• High-resolution micro-CT scan with a specified voxel resolution of 4.2µm.
• Dataset is part of a cited study (Shah et al., 2015) with a clear research objective on resolution effects.
• Provided by an authoritative organization, the British Geological Survey.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
