description The porosity structure of rocks is an important research topic in fields such as civil engineering, geology, and petroleum engineering, with significant implications for groundwater flow, oil and gas reservoir exploitation, and geological hazard prediction. This paper systematically explores the research progress and knowledge graph construction methods for rock porosity structure, aiming to provide scientific foundations for a multidimensional understanding and application of rock porosity structure. It outlines the basic concepts and classifications of rock porosity, including the definitions and characteristics of macropores, micropores, and nanopores. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the main technical methods employed in recent research on rock porosity structure, including X-ray computed tomography, scanning electron microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and 3D reconstruction technologies. It explores the relationship between porosity structure and the physical and mechanical properties of rocks, focusing on the impact of porosity, permeability, and pore morphology on rock mechanical behavior. A knowledge graph of rock porosity structure is constructed to highlight key research areas, core technologies, and emerging applications in this field. The study utilizes extensive literature review and data mining techniques, analyzing 4807 papers published over the past 20 years, sourced from the Web of Science database. Bibliometric and knowledge graph analyses were performed, examining trends such as annual publication volume, country/region distribution, institutional affiliations, journal sources, subject categories, and research databases, as well as research hotspots and frontier developments. This analysis offers valuable insights into the current state of rock porosity structure research, shedding light on its progress and providing references for further advancing research in this area.
