Abstract
We develop a new class of three‐dimensional geometrical models of porous media based on the smoothing of random white‐noise images. With the appropriate choice of smoothing parameters, models of this kind are shown to provide reasonable representations of Vycor glass and crystalline dolomites. Transport and structural properties are found to be in accord with experimental data.
