Abstract

Porosity is the ratio of the volume of the medium pores to the total volume.As an important indicator of the physical properties of porous rock and soil medium,It is directly related to the physical and mechanical properties of the rock and soil in the environment, and the permeability characteristics and reservoir properties.Research on the calculation method of the porosity of rock and soil medium is of great significance.The complex characteristics in the macro of non continuous, non uniform, anisotropic and non deterministic, and so on, depend on non continuity and non determinism of microstructure of soil mass fundamentally.Under the premise of not considering the soil boundary,The soil particles are abstracted as spherical particles.Considering the unit cell,we probe different arrangement of spherical particles.Rock and soil are regarded as macro performance of arrangement with countless same unit cells.Therefore,we can calculate the porosity of the soil under various arrangements,and analyze the effects of different arrangements of soil particles on the porosity.
