Digital Pore Solutions (DPS) is developing a powerful suite of commercial software designed to model multiphase fluid flow and transport in complex porous materials—from pore to macro scale. Built on foundational research from the Center of Innovation for Flow through Porous Media, our technology bridges the gap between pore-scale physics and continuum-scale predictions, offering a new standard for accuracy, speed, and scalability in subsurface energy and environmental applications.
We start by capturing high-resolution images of porous materials using advanced imaging techniques.
We then generate high-fidelity digital rock models that accurately represent the pore-scale structure and composition of the material.
Our software performs hardware-accelerated simulations to model multiphase flow and transport.
Simulation results are rigorously validated against in-house experimental data, ensuring accuracy and then delivered.
Digital Pore Solutions, LLC develops a commercial suite of software for high-fidelity modeling of multiphase fluid flow and transport in heterogeneous and disordered porous materials across multiple scales. Originating from the Center of Innovation for Flow through Porous Media, this technology bridges the long-standing gap between micro-scale flow phenomena and continuum-scale behavior in porous materials. Our commercial-grade software performs hardware-accelerated simulations that honor fundamental pore-scale physics across macro-sized computational domains. This transformative technology serves as a powerful modeling tool to reliably predict and optimize subsurface energy and environmental applications such as renewable geothermal energy extraction, CO₂ sequestration, and hydrogen storage.
Historically, Digital Rock Technologies (DRT) have remained largely within academic settings due to a lack of meaningful validation—caused by limitations in both experimental and modeling approaches, and the persistent disconnect between them. To shift this paradigm, DPS is committed to conducting rigorous verification and validation studies using well-characterized in-house experimental measurements. In support of this mission, we work closely with our parent company, Piri Technologies, which provides high-resolution imaging and flow capabilities at atomic, nano, micro, and macro scales. With this integrated approach, DPS is uniquely positioned to deliver the next generation of fast, robust, and user-friendly pore-scale modeling software—rigorously validated to drive innovation in the subsurface energy and environmental sectors.
