Insights from the persistent homology analysis of micro-CT images of porous and granular materials. (206)
The physical properties of porous and granular materials critically depend on the topological andgeometric details of the material micro-structure. This type of information is summarised by a mathematicaltool calledpersistent homology. Our work with CT images has demonstrated how persistent homology highlightsphysically-relevant length scales and provides a summary of important structural features.
