Abstract The so-called pore network model has great advantages in describing the process of heat and mass transfer in porous media. In order to construct a random two-dimensional (2D) irregular pore network model for an unconsolidated material, image processing technology was used to extract the required topological and geometric information from a 2D sample of soybean particles, and a dedicated algorithm was elaborated to merge some adjacent small pores. Based on the extracted information, a 2D pore network model including particle information was reconstructed and verified to reflect the pore structure of discrete particles. This More >
