LTrace is proud to participate in the “Multiphase flow in porous media for petrophysicists” workshop, hosted by the SPWLA Brazil Chapter in Rio de Janeiro. Our researcher, Rafael Arenhart, joined this intensive week led by Prof. Martin Blunt from Imperial College London to explore pore-scale physics from the classic fluid flow foundations to the latest multiscale […]
📢LTrace is excited to announce a data visualization update to our open-source digital rock platform, GeoSlicer! 🚀 We have updated the visualization capabilities in GeoSlicer for single-phase absolute permeability simulations in Pore Network Models (PNMs). While the absolute permeability values are the primary output of the simulations, visual analysis of flow data provides essential context […]
We present an exciting application of GeoSlicer: Microfluidics.In this study, we extracted a pore network from a 2.5D image (6000 Ă— 6000 Ă— 15 voxels) and performed one-phase and two-phase flow simulations, with all processes running in just a few minutes.These are the first steps in a research collaboration with Prof. Fabiano G. Wolf from LabMicro, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.Looking ahead, this workflow […]
📢 We’re excited to share our multiscale pore network module, available in Geoslicer, our open-source digital rocks platform at LTrace.These new developments enable pore-scale one- and two-phase flow simulations on porous media images containing both resolved and unresolved porosity. Our approach builds on the concepts introduced by Bultreys (2015) and Xu (2021), which describe macro- and microporous domains as separate network elements. We extend […]
From May 19th to 22nd, LTrace had the pleasure of attending InterPore – International Society for Porous Media 2025 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was a great opportunity to connect with the porous media community, learn about the latest developments, and discuss the challenges facing our field. We were grateful for the opportunity to showcase […]
From April 8–10, we had the privilege of joining the Rock Imaging Special Interest Group at the Geological Society in London for an inspiring few days of cutting-edge research, discussion, and collaboration. đź’¬ We were honored to speak alongside world-class researchers and industry leaders in rock imaging — a field that’s essential to both the […]
📢 Modeling fluid flow in porous media with broad pore size distributions remains an open challenge, as balancing field of view and voxel resolution often requires difficult compromises. 🔬 Our latest developments 🔬We’re excited to share our developments on multiscale pore network models, implemented in the open-source solution Geoslicer. Multiscale PNM addresses this challenge by representing subresolution pores through effective properties while reducing the computational […]
