“…The first one is the use of bigger images up to 8000 3 voxels, i.e., about 800 correlation lengths. This will allow us to estimate the REV for transport properties by simulating fluid flow in the samples or mechanical properties by static, quasi-static [Milani et al, 2016;Quintal et al, 2011], or dynamic seismic modeling [Saenger et al, 2016[Saenger et al, , 2000Lisitsa and Vishnevskiy, 2010], Kostin et al [2015]. The second one is the use of statistically generated images with given geometrical, topological, and statistical properties which are reliably determined from the small-size images.…”
