Résumé
Over the past decade, advancements in the numerical resolution of the Navier-Stokes equations for multiphase flow modeling have enabled the study of key transport processes in porous media while accounting for non-Darcian effects, including inertial, boundary, and variable porosity influences. Simultaneously, improvements in post-processing techniques for CT-scan images (such as reconstruction and segmentation) applied to porous material samples have made the process increasingly reliable. As a result, integrating real and complex geometries from CT scans into numerical simulations has become a cutting-edge topic in scientific research. This study explores different numerical approaches that utilize Computed Tomography (CT) data for porous media modeling, focusing on intricate couplings between flow dynamics and fluid-solid interactions. We present a workflow for generating a 3D numerical model from CT-scan images of porous media for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The uncertainties in porosity and permeability are assessed using CT-scan datasets of a reference material—assemblies of monodisperse glass beads—for which analytical and empirical solutions are available in the literature. Meshes are generated using the open-source platform Salome, and numerical simulations are conducted with Code_Saturne, a multiphysics CFD software based on a finite-volume approach, which supports arbitrary cell types and grid structures. The resolution of CT-scan data acquisition and the selection of image post-processing filters play a crucial role in the accuracy of numerical solutions. Notably, the reconstruction of pore space interfaces alters surface and volume representations, significantly affecting porosity and, consequently, permeability calculations. This study provides a detailed uncertainty analysis for an ideal porous medium, serving as a reference framework for the development of a multiscale and multiphysics methodology applicable to various particle assemblies, including geomaterials.
