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 […]
