<p>Methods and systems for determining a maximum pore size in a distribution of varying-sized spherical particles are disclosed. One method includes distributing a plurality of particles within a volume, and, at each point unoccupied by a particle, inscribing a sphere and determining a size of the sphere. The method further includes determining a maximum size of a sphere from among the spheres inscribed at each unoccupied point, thereby locating a maximum pore size location within the volume. The method is applied to sediment samples and is useful for assisting in determining whether conditions exist for formation of clathrates.</p> |
