PMMoTo: A Porous Media Morphology and Topology Toolkit
Abstract
The Porous Media Morphology and Topology Toolkit (PMMoTo) is a software tool designed to help researchers analyze and understand porous structures and how their features influence behavior at larger scales. A porous medium is any solid material that contains pores, for example, soil, membranes, skin, and many other natural and engineered materials. In fact, porosity is often a function of spatial scale; all materials have some degree of porosity, you just need to zoom in. The morphology (i.e. the shape and structure) and topology (i.e., the connectivity and spatial relations) of a porous structure govern larger-scale behavior. By characterizing these structures, PMMoTo enables researchers to better understand emergent behaviors and develop more predictive models of porous systems.
