intersecting_cones

intersecting_cones(network, pore_coords='pore.coords', throat_coords='throat.coords')

Calculates conduit lengths in the network assuming pores are cones that intersect. Therefore, the throat is the cross sectional plane where two pores meet and has negligible/zero volume.

A conduit is defined as ( 1/2 pore - 1/2 pore ).

Parameters:

network (OpenPNM Network object)

pore_coordsstr

Name of the dictionary key on network containing the ndarray of pore coordinate values.

throat_coordsstr

Name of the dictionary key on network containing the ndarray of throat centroid coordinate values.
