Study on the microscopic characteristics of three-dimensional pores
in coral sand
The pore is the place where the seepage occurs in the porous medium
which is inevitably related to the permeability of the medium. Due to the special material source and formation process
coral sand has completely different pore characteristics compared with terrestrial sand. Through a series of microscopic studies
the reason for the special pore properties of coral sand in essence was revealed. It is found that it is reasonable to describe the properties of pores from the aspect of pore shape
pore throat size and global connectivity. Among them
pore shape is measured by the shape factor. Pore throat size includes pore radius and throat radius. Global connectivity in the porous media is described by coordination numbers. Particle shape and particle surface roughness are the main factors affecting pore shape
pore throat size and global connectivity. Particle shape mainly affects pore shape
throat size
pore throat size dispersion and the uniform distribution of connectivity in the medium. Particle surface roughness mainly affects pore shape
pore shape dispersion
pore size and global connectivity in the porous medium.
