Robert Caulk posted a new comment: Hello, Maybe Bruno should answer this since he is one of the creators of yade's PFV, but I might as well share my understanding of how it works. PFV simulates a network of pores with connecting channels. The triangulation of the pore network is controlled by the locations of the discrete elements. Permeability between pores is computed using the "actual" particle sizes and locations, and poromechanical behavior of the packing is simulated using the "actual" particle sizes and locations. Maybe that answers your question? The PFV implementation in yade is well documented in [1] and [2] for further reading. Cheers, Robert [1]Catalano, E., Chareyre, B., & Barthélemy, E. (2014).
