Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Interpreting diffusion in porous media is crucial for understanding fluid transport.
  • Pulsed Gradient Spin Echo (PGSE) is a key technique for measuring diffusion.
  • Existing methods may not fully capture diffusion across multiple length scales.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a theoretical framework for analyzing PGSE data in saturated porous media.
  • To introduce a new diffusion coefficient, D(q), dependent on length scale.
  • To provide new insights into the micro-macro transition of diffusion.

Main Methods:

  • Analyzing the time dependence of PGSE amplitudes for varying gradient strengths.
  • Introducing a continuously length-scale-dependent diffusion coefficient, D(q).

    • Main Results:

    • The new D(q) coefficient successfully interprets experimental and simulated PGSE data.
    • The evolution of D(q) with length scale reveals non-trivial diffusion behaviors.
    • D(q) is sensitive to local slow kinetic effects, offering detailed micro-macro transition insights.

    Conclusions:

    • The D(q) approach provides a novel way to interpret diffusion in porous media.
    • This method enhances understanding of fluid transport across different scales.
    • The findings are applicable to various scientific and engineering fields involving porous materials.
