Site‐Bond Network Modeling of Disordered Porous Media

Abstract

Abstract The description of disordered porous media through the Dual Site‐Bond Model (DSBM) is reviewed and updated with the inclusion of new results. After a brief discussion of the DSBM, the percolation properties of networks are studied. These present novel features with respect to classical percolation in non‐correlated networks. These properties are then used in discussing different processes in disordered porous media, namely, invasion percolation and adsorption‐desorption hysteresis. Finally, a method for the characterization of pore size distributions from experimental adsorption‐desorption isotherms is proposed.
