Research Interests
Dual PhD project
We aim at combining a variety of methods for an integrated assessment of flow in mudrocks and shales:
Pore-scale gas flow will be simulated on shale pore-network models that are constructed from characterisations to be obtained from FIB images and small angle scattering/gas adsorption measurements to perform mechanistic modelling with respect to pore geometry and topology, and fluid transport mechanisms. The results can then be used to interpret laboratory flow measurements by
numerical inversion on X-ray tomograms of small shale sample plugs.
