Computed Tomography to Estimate the Representative Elementary Area for Soil Porosity Measurements

Figure 1

Representative elementary volume (REV, Δ 𝑈 0 ) for the porosity ( 𝜙 ). Δ 𝑈 𝑖 represents any volume in the porous media. REA is defined from the concept of REV and shows similar behavior. Source: adapted from Bear [12].
