Abstract

The concept of representative volume (REV, or RVE in material sciences) is the cornerstone of continuum scale models – one needs to get the volume big enough so that it could be represented with an averaged value (scalar, vector or tensorial, etc.). While REV should be established in all larger scale simulations, this is rarely done in practice despite widespread adoption of 3D imaging devices in all research areas starting from petroleum engineering, material sciences and spanning to biology. Sometimes REV analysis is performed in the form of very simple procedures, such as a check for convergence of porosity or surface area, which is technically identical to omitting it entirely. The main reason for this to happen is the poor understanding of REV concept in general (mainly its connection to spatial stationarity and necessity for vector metrics with high information content) and unavailability of open-source robust solutions. In this work we present
library that solves exactly this problem – we developed an easy to use and well-documented code based on rigorous research carried out recently in explaining the “dark sides” of representativity. In addition to REV, our code allows spatial stationarity analysis and comparison of samples (with subsequent clusterization into different groups) based on vector metrics – correlation functions, persistence diagrams and pore-network statistics, that altogether possess high information content which is critical in establishing stationarity and REV. We test our library on images produced by known statistical processes, such as Poisson spheres. After verification, we show how to compare different samples and group them depending on their “structural DNA”. All solutions explained in the paper are represented by Jupiter notebooks that can be used to perform similar analysis, moreover, the class structure of
library allows painless modifications to be implemented. We believe that such an open-source library will be useful in numerous fields and will become an invaluable tool for 3D image analysis.
使用标量和矢量度量的3D图像的物理属性代表性和平稳性评估器开源库
代表性体积(REV,或材料科学中的RVE)的概念是连续尺度模型的基石——人们需要得到足够大的体积,以便它可以用平均值(标量、矢量或张量等)来表示。虽然REV应该在所有更大规模的模拟中建立,但在实践中很少这样做,尽管从石油工程、材料科学到生物学的所有研究领域都广泛采用了3D成像设备。有时REV分析以非常简单的程序的形式进行,例如检查孔隙度或表面积的收敛性,这在技术上等同于完全忽略它。发生这种情况的主要原因是对REV概念的理解不足(主要是它与空间平稳性的联系以及具有高信息内容的矢量度量的必要性)以及无法获得开源健壮的解决方案。在这项工作中,我们提供了一个完全解决这个问题的库——我们基于最近在解释代表性的“阴暗面”方面进行的严格研究,开发了一个易于使用且文档齐全的代码。除了REV之外,我们的代码还允许基于向量度量-相关函数,持久性图和孔隙网络统计数据对样本进行空间平稳性分析和比较(随后聚类到不同组),这些数据具有高信息含量,这对于建立平稳性和REV至关重要。我们在已知统计过程(如泊松球)产生的图像上测试了我们的库。验证后,我们展示了如何比较不同的样品,并根据它们的“结构DNA”对它们进行分组。文中解释的所有解决方案都由木星笔记本表示,可以用于执行类似的分析,此外,库的类结构允许实现无痛修改。我们相信这样一个开源库将在许多领域有用,并将成为3D图像分析的宝贵工具。

期刊介绍: The focus of CPC is on contemporary computational methods and techniques and their implementation, the effectiveness of which will normally be evidenced by the author(s) within the context of a substantive problem in physics. Within this setting CPC publishes two types of paper. Computer Programs in Physics (CPiP) These papers describe significant computer programs to be archived in the CPC Program Library which is held in the Mendeley Data repository. The submitted software must be covered by an approved open source licence. Papers and associated computer programs that address a problem of contemporary interest in physics that cannot be solved by current software are particularly encouraged. Computational Physics Papers (CP) These are research papers in, but are not limited to, the following themes across computational physics and related disciplines. mathematical and numerical methods and algorithms; computational models including those associated with the design, control and analysis of experiments; and algebraic computation. Each will normally include software implementation and performance details. The software implementation should, ideally, be available via GitHub, Zenodo or an institutional repository.In addition, research papers on the impact of advanced computer architecture and special purpose computers on computing in the physical sciences and software topics related to, and of importance in, the physical sciences may be considered.
