Challenges and Prospects of Digital Core-Reconstruction Research

Figure 1

Reconstruction of 3D digital cores using confocal laser scanning method (the pore space is opaque (colored) and the solid matrix is translucent). It is obvious that the thickness of 3D digital cores obtained by LSCM method is low. This leads to too little information on the obtained 3D digital core, and the results of numerical simulation using 3D digital cores are not representative. Figure from [43].
