Replication of soil analogues at the original scale by 3D printing: Quantitative assessment of accuracy and repeatability of the pore structural heterogeneity
The present study investigates the quality of four three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies to accurately reproduce the complex pore structure of a real undisturbed soil sample for laboratory experiments of transport in porous media at a 1:1 scale. Four state-of-the-art 3D printing technologies were evaluated (digital light synthesis, PolyJet with gel support material, low-force stereolithography, and PolyJet with water-soluble support material) using a combination of 3D image analysis from microtomopraphy and flow simulations of the pore structure produced with each 3D printing technique. Accuracy, as determined by matching solid and void volumes, permeability, connected porosity, specific surface area, and pore size distribution of the print against the original digital soil structure, was found to be substantially better for digital light synthesis, as compared to the other tested technologies. Repeatability, as determined by the same metrics but compared between identical prints, was found to be comparable across all printing technologies and did not significantly improve for prints at greater magnification (1.5). Wettability of the samples was improved by plasma treatment of the prints. The thorough analysis herein presented demonstrates that advanced, yet relatively inexpensive 3D printing approaches can be used to generate real-scale high quality analogs of soils/rocks that are much needed for experimental laboratory work. Such a method can open countless opportunities for studying the coupling of pore-structure and hydrodynamics on reactive mass transport in environmental science and engineering, soil science, and other subsurface related fields.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Water Resources provides a forum for the presentation of fundamental scientific advances in the understanding of water resources systems. The scope of Advances in Water Resources includes any combination of theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches used to advance fundamental understanding of surface or subsurface water resources systems or the interaction of these systems with the atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and human societies. Manuscripts involving case studies that do not attempt to reach broader conclusions, research on engineering design, applied hydraulics, or water quality and treatment, as well as applications of existing knowledge that do not advance fundamental understanding of hydrological processes, are not appropriate for Advances in Water Resources.
Examples of appropriate topical areas that will be considered include the following:
• Surface and subsurface hydrology
• Hydrometeorology
• Environmental fluid dynamics
• Ecohydrology and ecohydrodynamics
• Multiphase transport phenomena in porous media
• Fluid flow and species transport and reaction processes
