In this way, the penetration of the gas flow into the graphite specimens could be observed regarding the porous structures of the different specimens. Since a micro-hydromechanics simulation of the real scenario in the test facility was impossible given our available computing ability, three scaled-...
For a better interpretation of the µ-CT images, a Cryo-SEM experiment was carried out (Electron Microscopy Facility, IBPS, Paris, France). Both frozen and unfrozen samples were analyzed. In order to avoid thawing during transportation, the samples were frozen on site at −35 °C at a...
