Abstract

Thorough comprehension of flow behavior in underground porous media is fundamental for several applications such as oil and gas production, Underground Gas Storage, CO2 storage, and Enhanced Geothermal Systems. Macroscale petrophysical parameters, as well as hydraulic parameters, are strongly linked to the microstructure of the rock.
