Numerical analysis of fluid permeability in compacted sandstones. In H. Iresha, Y. Elakneswaran, A. Dassanayake, & C.

Division of Sustainable Resources Engineering, Hokkaido University. https://doi.org/10.31705/ISERME.2024.1http://dl.lib.uom.lk/handle/123/23123Fluid permeability in compacted sandstones were investigated numerically. The structural analysis of spherical particle bed which imitates compacted sand layer was conducted and pore region in the particle bed was extracted. The pore characteristics, such as effective porosity, tortuosity and specific surface area, were quantified by various numerical methods. From these pore characteristics, fluid permeability was calculated using the Kozeny-Carman equation. The obtained permeability agreed quantitatively with those measured from actual sandstones.enPermeabilityPore characteristicsKozeny-Carman equationSandstoneConference-Full-textEngineeringDepartment of Earth Resources Engineering2024Eight International Symposium on Earth Resources Management & Environment - ISERME 2024Hokkaido University, Japanpp. 3-6Proceedings of International Symposium on Earth Resources Management and Environmentotono.miura@me.comhttps://doi.org/10.31705/ISERME.2024.1
