Pore size distributions and pore multifractal characteristics of medium and low-rank coals

Abstract It is of great significance to study the porosity and permeability properties of medium and low-rank coal. The porosity and permeability in confining stress experiments were used to simulate the porosity and permeability variations of coal samples under different depth conditions. The pore...
