Quartz Cementation in Sandstones from Phase-Field Simulations

Numerical simulation results for quartz cementation in polycrystalline sandstones, generated using the Pace3D software. The data is organized by figure numbers from the associated manuscript and includes files for visualization in formats like .stl and .vtk. The dataset was created by Nishant Prajapati at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

Use Cases

• Visualizing 3D microstructure evolution based on the provided .stl and .vtk files
• Validating phase-field simulation outputs against geological models described in the manuscript
• Analyzing quartz overgrowth patterns in sandstone pore spaces using the simulation data
• Benchmarking new simulation tools against results from the Pace3D software chain

Strengths

• Data is organized according to manuscript figures, facilitating direct comparison with published results.
• Includes multiple file formats (.stl, .vtk, proprietary .p3s/.p3v) for visualization with both open-source and in-house tools.
• Associated with a specific software version (Pace3D 2.5.1), providing reproducibility context.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
