Title: Advanced multi-scale and multi-modal three-dimensional imaging and modelling of flow properties in porous rocks
Dr. Mancini is a material science physicist who has lead the TomoLab facility (two instruments) at Elettra devoted to microfocus X-ray Computed Tomography since 2005. Since May 2022 she has been working as senior researcher in the Department of Materials of the Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute in Ljubljana (Slovenia). Her research activity includes, amongst many things: hard 2D and 3D X-ray imaging of solid and liquid materials and application to the morphological and textural characterization of geomaterials.
The textural and geometrical properties of pore networks, including pore size distribution, shape, connectivity, and tortuosity, play a crucial role in the storage and migration of geofluids within porous reservoir rocks. The recent advances in X-ray and neutron 3D imaging techniques in static and dynamic conditions, coupled with computational fluid dynamics, can offer a deeper understanding of how the… continue reading
