Cover image by Peng Xu on pages 182-196. The image illustrates the microstructure of multi-phase rocks, wherein interconnected pore networks and mineral grains collectively govern fluid transport behavior. The water phase in the pores highlights coupling between pore geometry and multiphase flow. The multi-gate mixture-of-different-experts (MMoDE) model integrates features to simultaneously predict key petrophysical properties, including porosity, fractal dimension, saturation, gas and water permeability, and effective permeability. The model improves accuracy while maintaining physical consistency, providing a robust tool for multi-phase rock characterization with implications for the geological energy sector.
