Network Statistics Snapshot¶
| Backend | Mean coordination | Dead-end pore fraction |
|---|---|---|
| PoreSpy snow2 | 3.37 | 0.305 |
| PREGO | 4.62 | 0.078 |
| Native maximal-ball | 3.61 | 0.221 |
Interpretation¶
For Castlegate, the closest aggregate permeability in this rerun is
from PoreSpy snow2 with a relative permeability error of
10.37%. The spread between the
largest and smallest backend aggregate permeability is about 2.87x,
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.
