Dvorkin discusses the digital experimentation of flow simulations and permeability calculations in the latest issue of The Leading Edge
The Leading Edge compliments Geophysics SEG’s
peer-reviewed publication, long unrivaled as the world's most respected vehicle for dissemination of developments in
exploration and development geophysics. TLE is a gateway publication, introducing
new geophysical theory, instrumentation, and established practices to scientists in a wide range of geoscience disciplines.
Most material is presented in a semitechnical manner that minimizes mathematical theory and emphasizes practical applications.
TLE also serves as SEG’s publication venue for official society business. For more information, visit http://www.segdl.org/tle

Houston (January, 2010) -- Trying to determine permeability, especially
two-phase flow, with conventional, physical lab experiments can be
fairly laborious and time-consuming. In the article Computer Simulations of Fluid Flow in Sediment: From Images to Permeability,
Rock
Physics Science Advisor Jack Dvorkin explains how computational
simulation of flow in pore space can offer a powerful means of
obtaining permeability in different rock types and at varying in-situ
conditions.
The article is featured in part of a special section in this month's issue entitled High-Performance Computing, which takes a look
at high-performance computing with eight articles discussing the
current and future roles of high-performance computing in geophysics.
