Coupled Processes at Pore Scale and Characterization
Strong coupling between pore-scale structural heterogeneity and pore-scale physical and biogeochemical processes can lead to complex phenomena. Imaging of complex pore structure and coupled processes, and predictive pore-scale modeling will be discussed.
