Cover: Three-dimensional rendering of a partially saturated sand-pack illustrating the non-uniformity in water and air distributio
in the pore space following drainage. The gray regions are sand grains, black areas are air-filled pores, and the lighter grey
areas are water-filled pores. Images collected for different drainage conditions showed significant variability in both
water saturation and distribution for the two types of boundary conditions (slow or fast drainage). The images were
obtained with computed X-ray microtomography at the GSECARS beam-line at the Advanced Photon Source.
D. Wildenschild, J.W. Hopmans, M.L. Rivers, and A.J.R. Kent present their findings in "Quantitative Analysis of Flow
Processes in a Sand Using Synchrotron-Based X-ray Microtomography,"
p. 112-126.
