The three-dimensional structure of large packings monosized spheres with volume fractions ranging between 0.58 and 0.64 has been studied x-ray computed tomography. We search for signatures organization, classifying local arrangements exploring the effects geometrical constrains on global packing. This study is largest most accurate empirical analysis disordered at grain-scale to date, mapping over 380,000 sphere coordinates precision within 0.1% diameters. discuss topological methods...
Summary A reservoir carbonate core plug has been imaged in 3D across a range of length scales using high resolution X-ray microtomography (μ-CT). Data from the original 40-mm diameter was obtained at vug scale (42 μm resolution) and allows size, shape spatial distribution disconnected vuggy porosity, ϕvug = 3.5% to be measured. Within volume over 32,000 separate vugs are identified broad size is Higher images, down 1.1 resolution, on subsets exhibit interconnected porosity allow one measure...

Interactions between charged surfaces immersed in aqueous calcium solutions were measured using the surface force apparatus and atomic microscope. With apparatus, good agreement with previously reported measurements was found for mica dilute up to 0.1 M. However, at higher concentrations large discrepancies observed. Compared earlier work, strength of lower by two or three orders magnitude range diminished. Experiments microscope indicated similar force-distance profiles interaction silicon...
Using sedimentation to obtain precisely controlled packings of noncohesive spheres, we find that the volume fraction ${\ensuremath{\phi}}_{\mathrm{RLP}}$ loosest mechanically stable packing is in an operational sense well defined by a limit process. This random loose decreases with decreasing pressure $p$ and increasing interparticle friction coefficient $\ensuremath{\mu}$. x-ray tomography correct for container boundary effect depends on particle size, rough particles...

Tight gas reservoirs exhibit storage and flow characteristics that are intimately tied to depositional diagenetic processes. As a result, exploitation of these resources requires comprehensive reservoir description characterization program identify properties which control production. In particular, tight have significant primary secondary porosity pore connectivity dominated by clays slot-like pores. This makes them particularly susceptible the effects overburden stress variable water...
We present experimental evidence of the Rayleigh−Plateau instability a single chain in poor solvent conditions using molecule force microscopy. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) are adsorbed onto silicon nitride surfaces various solutions corresponding to good conditions. In conditions, force−separation profile is identical that described previously attributed elastic stretching polymer chains. However, we see dramatically different profile, characterized by...
We study both experimentally, with an atomic force microscope (AFM), and theoretically, using scaling arguments, the stretching of a single polyelectrolyte chain adsorbed at planar charged surface. The main result is that needed to pull monomer distance z from surface reaches plateau distances larger than Debye screening length solution.
