A general-purpose tool for modeling multifunctional thin porous media (POREnet): From pore network to effective property tensors

POREnet, a novel approach to model effective properties of thin porous media, TPM, is presented. The methodology allows the extraction of local effective property tensors by volume averaging from discrete pore networks, PNs, built on the tessellated continuum space of a TPM. The gradient theorem is...
