Multiscale structures to describe porous media .2. Transport properties and application to test materials
A renormalization method for the computation of the transport properties of a porous medium modelled as a multiscale random network is proposed. The method applies to electrical conduction, molecular diffusion, hydraulic transport under low Reynolds number, transport of condensable vapour, in the medium fully or partially saturated by one or two immiscible fluids. For 31 test materials, the method previously exposed by the authors for the reconstitution of the pore structure from the mercury intrusion curve is applied. Then, the intrinsic permeability is computed. The results are in good agreement with the measured permeability.
