Direct flow simulations on 3-D images of Estaillades carbonate investigate pore-scale heterogeneity effects on non-Darcy flow behavior. The dataset is associated with EPSRC grant EP/L012227/1 and is also available via the Digital Rocks Portal with DOI:10.17612/P73W2C. Further methodological details are published in Muljadi et al., Advances in Water Resources (2015).
Use Cases
- Modeling the transition from Darcy to non-Darcy flow regimes based on pore-scale heterogeneity
- Comparing critical Reynolds numbers across different porous media like carbonate and sandstone
- Analyzing the formation of steady eddies in pore spaces at elevated fluid velocities
- Validating theoretical predictions of reactive transport with experimental 3D image data
Strengths
- Data is derived from direct simulations on 3-D images, suggesting a foundation in empirical measurement
- Includes comparative analysis of critical Reynolds numbers across Estaillades carbonate, Bentheimer sandstone, and a beadpack
- Associated with a peer-reviewed publication (Muljadi et al., 2015) and has a persistent DOI
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Data may reflect bias inherent to the specific rock samples studied
