Aksay}, title = {Structure and transport properties of a porous magnetic gel via x-ray microtomography}, abstract = { A three-dimensional digitized image of a porous magnetic gel is determined by x-ray microtomographic techniques. The complex connected pore-space topology is quantitatively characterized by measuring a variety of statistical correlation functions, including the chord-length distribution function, the pore-size distribution function, and the Lineal-path function. This structural information is then employed to estimate transport properties, such as the fluid permeability and trapping rate, of the gel. }, year = {1996}, journal = {Physical Review EPhysical Review E}, volume = {54}, number = {3}, pages = {2663-2669}, month = {09/1996}, isbn = {1063-651X}, language = {eng}, }
