Interpretation

For Buff Berea, the closest aggregate permeability in this rerun is from PoreSpy snow2 with a relative permeability error of 13.90%. The spread between the largest and smallest backend aggregate permeability is about 2.74x, which makes extraction sensitivity a material part of this sample's validation result.

This is a pore-network comparison against a laboratory-scale experimental reference. The numbers depend on the selected ROI, segmentation convention, boundary labeling, network reduction, and conductance closure; they should not be read as a direct voxel-scale flow simulation.
