Project description

Transport of fluids containing dissolved components influences the original properties of pore networks. It is essential to monitor simultaneously the petrophysical characteristics of natural stone as well as their fluid migration, allowing to study their mutual influence. Besides data fusion, non-destructive techniques should be used, enabling simultaneous research on the interaction of both petrophysical properties and fluid migration.
