  "term": "Random-walk method",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A simulation technique used to model fluid flow or particle transport through a porous medium by tracking the stochastic movement of individual particles. Each particle's path is determined by a series of random steps, reflecting the tortuous nature of pore networks. This method is applied in reservoir engineering to understand dispersion and mixing processes, particularly in heterogeneous reservoirs.",
