摘要

Coral reef limestone (CRL), a biogenic marine sedimentary rock, is characterized by low density, high friability, strong anisotropy, and significant inter-sample variability. These physical and mechanical properties, governed by its complex pore structure, pose substantial challenges for sampling and numerical simulations. This study presents a comprehensive generative adversarial network (GAN)-based framework for reconstructing 2D slices and 3D digital rock models of CRL, incorporating five distinct approaches: stochastic reconstruction, porosity-controlled reconstruction, structure-controlled reconstruction, coupled porosity-structure reconstruction, and layer-sequence reconstruction. The study further analyzes the influence of sampling methods on structure-controlled reconstruction performance. The generated images and models are rigorously evaluated using image-based metrics to assess reconstruction fidelity, morphological diversity, and conditional control accuracy. Results indicate that the proposed GAN framework outperforms conventional multiple-point statistics (MPS) algorithms in both reconstruction realism and conditional control precision. The methodology enables (i) the generation of numerous statistically representative CRL samples for numerical simulations and (ii) the production of samples with varying porosities while preserving structural morphology, thereby supporting parameter-controllable numerical studies. Additionally, this framework provides a methodological foundation for reconstructing other rock types and predicting geological image data.
