Abstract
This work enables the computation of material properties, both static and dynamic, from 2D images, and of course, from 3D images. For example, we may compute the porosity of a rock from a microscopy image. Moreover, from that single microscopy image, we can produce a 3D geometry that changes as a function of time, subsequently obtaining permeability changes as a function of some processes (such as compaction). We highlight that only a single 2D image of a material may be used to get the results and predictions that we explain. We introduce a method based on geometry that increases the dimension of a single 2D image to a 3D image, where computational simulations provide reasonable estimates of the reality. Then we move on to increase the dimension even more by including time, where we simulate physical and chemical processes that change the material structure. Consequently, getting the history of changes in the material properties. We provide powerful tools for any industry working with porous materials. This work is the first step towards explaining natural and man-made: diagenesis, cementation, dissolution, pressure solution, filter degradation, and any other process that changes the underlying structure of a material.
