Digital rocks with irregularly shaped grains: A simulator tool for computational rock physics
Mustafa A. Al Ibrahim, Abdulla Kerimov, Tapan Mukerji, Gary Mavko · 2018
We developed a numerical framework and procedures to generate three-dimensional grain packs of spherical and non-spherical (regular and irregular) grains with prescribed size distributions. An efficient approach to create multiple realizations of non-spherical irregularly shaped grains using coherent noise modification of the spherical grains surface is introduced. Various three-dimensional random loose and dense grain packs show the validity, flexibility, and consistency of the simulator compared to previous studies.
