TLDR
In this article, a pore-throat network is constructed that incorporates both intergranular porosity and microporosity to estimate the medium flow properties of a porous medium such as absolute/relative) permeability and capillary pressure relationships.About:

Review of pore network modelling of porous media: Experimental characterisations, network constructions and applications to reactive transport
TL;DR: Pore network models are found to be a valuable tool for understanding and predicting meso-scale phenomena, linking single pore processes, where other techniques are more accurate, and the homogenised continuum porous media, used by engineering community.

Effect of microporosity on scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.
TL;DR: The increased specific surface areas by microporosity can offer more protein adsorption sites and accelerate the release of degradation products, which facilitate the interactions between scaffolds and cells, and capillary force generated by the micropore can improve the attachment of bone-related cells on the scaffolds surface.

Multi-scale, micro-computed tomography-based pore network models to simulate drainage in heterogeneous rocks
TL;DR: A novel micro-computed-tomography based dual pore network model (DPNM) is developed that allows macropores to be drained as a consequence of their connection with microporosity, permitting simulations where the macropore network alone does not percolate.

Emergence of Scaling in Random Networks
TL;DR: A model based on these two ingredients reproduces the observed stationary scale-free distributions, which indicates that the development of large networks is governed by robust self-organizing phenomena that go beyond the particulars of the individual systems.

Random packings and the structure of simple liquids. I. The geometry of random close packing
TL;DR: In this article, a set of polyhedral subunits essentially inverse to the packing in real space is derived, and several possible descriptive parameters are proposed to characterize an irregular array in formal mathematical terms.

Nanopores and Apparent Permeability of Gas Flow in Mudrocks (Shales and Siltstone)
TL;DR: In this article, an apparent permeability term that includes the complexity of flow in nanopores was introduced, and it takes the form of the Darcy equation so that it can easily be implemented in reservoir simulators.
