GeoDict Applications

GeoDict enables simulations to determine the water permeability of waterproof materials such as membranes. The results help identify the limits of membrane technology.

In the following example, a nonwoven is simulated with GeoDict using a µCT scan and a digital twin is created. This digital twin can be used to calculate a wide range of mechanical and physical properties.

We generate digital twins of reservoir rocks as a voxel-based geometry. Our aim is to accurately replicate the rock and the pore geometry.

Modern segmentation methods bring many advantages for the analysis of FIB-SEM images. In this comparison of segmentation methods, we only employed image processing methods that can be carried out by non experts.

In this study, we run simulations on a filter structure with different pleat counts and volumetric flow rates. We find find the local minimum of the pressure drop and the ideal configuration between filter area and pleat count.

Large structures of rocks are analyzed in a time- and cost-efficient way with GeoDict. The digital simulation of the capillary pressure curve and the calculation of the relative permeability derived from it avoid costly laboratory measurements.

While the depth of the reservoir is a known quantity, the rock must be analyzed to determine the possible CO2-storage capacities. With the digital rock physics capabilities in GeoDict, rocks are tested quickly and efficiently for these characteristic values

In this study, a µCT-scan of a glass fiber reinforced polypropylene made by the Leibniz-Institut für Verbundwerkstoffe GmbH (IVW) was analyzed.

In the case study shown here, the microstructure of a two-layer filter medium of an existing face mask is analyzed. The microstructure is the result of importing and segmenting µCT scans of the filter medium in GeoDict. The scan resolution is 400 nm.
