Data description:

  • This comprehensive dataset features two-phase flow Lattice-Boltzmann simulations generated using over 100 million GPU hours, covering a wide range of wetting conditions, capillary numbers, and porous geometries. Validated against synchrotron beamline experiments, the collection includes approximately 50 relative permeability curves and over 25,000 distinct fluid configurations to reveal key insights into wettability and ganglion dynamics. By providing data that would be impractical to acquire through physical experiments, this open-access resource establishes a valuable foundation for future studies on pore-scale transport and data-driven modeling.
