| Abstract: | Numerical investigations of pore characteristics in platelet particles with various macroscopic structures were performed for fundamental understanding of transport properties in clay layers composed of montmorillonite particles. The effect of macroscopic structures of particles on the geometric characteristics of pore networks was examined, particularly focusing on the tortuosity which represents the sinuosity of voids. Monte Carlo simulations of platelet particles under various initial configurations were performed to obtain metastable structures with internal differences. A random walk analysis was performed in extracted macropores of platelet structures. The tortuosity of pore network in variously structured platelet particles was evaluated from the results of the random walk analysis. The numerical results showed that the macrostructures of particles form complicated pore networks, which significantly influence the tortuosity. The "diffusional" tortuosity obtained from the random walk analyses was compared with the existing "geometrical" tortuosity model. It was found that configurational characteristics of platelets, such as size and orientation angle of particle clusters, were vital to estimate the tortuosity. The obtained tortuosity was also compared with the experimental results of the diffusion coefficient in clay layers obtained from previous studies. The results suggested that a complicated density dependence of diffusivity in clay arises from the diversity of macroscopic particle structures. |
