Major flow lines through the pore space of a compacted sandstone
sample. The calculation was performed with our
3D lattice-Boltzmann code |

Absolute permeabilities calculated from the synthetic Fontainebleau sandstone images
using the lattice- Boltzmann method. The
blue crosses are experimental data from
ExxonMobil. The color symbols denote various modes of compaction and
cementation. |
