Pore-scale simulation of carbonate dissolution in micro-CT images
We present a particle-based method to simulate carbonate dissolution at the pore scale directly on the voxels of three-dimensional micro-CT images. The flow field is computed on the images by solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Rock-fluid interaction is modeled using a three-step approach: solute advection, diffusion, and reaction. Advection is simulated with a semianalytical po...
متن کاملThermodynamic Simulation of Carbonate Cements-Water-Carbon Dioxide Equilibrium in Sandstone for Prediction of Precipitation/Dissolution of Carbonate Cements
Carbonate cements, such as calcite, dolomite, ferrocalcite and ankerite, play important roles in the formation of pores in sandstones: precipitation of carbonate cements modifies pores and inhibits compaction, while dissolution creates secondary pores. This work proposed a precipitation-dissolution model for carbonate cements-CO2-H2O system by means of ion equilibrium concentration ([M2+], M = ...
متن کاملCalcium Carbonate Dissolution Rate in Limestone Contactors
The project summarized here investigated some of the parameters and relationships used to predict the performance of limestone contactors. The purpose of the project was to study the effect of limestone composition, especially the dolomite [CaMg(CO 3) 2 ] and impurity content of the stone, on the kinetics of carbonate mineral dissolution and to determine the effect of temperature on the rate of...
متن کاملCharacterizing Vascular Connectivity from microCT Images
X-ray microCT (computed tomography) has become a valuable tool in the analysis of vascular architecture in small animals. Because of its high resolution, a detailed assessment of blood vessel physiology and pathology is possible. Vascular measurement from noninvasive imaging is important for the study and quantification of vessel disease and can aid in diagnosis, as well as measure disease prog...
متن کاملKinetic model of carbonate dissolution in Martian meteorite ALH84001
The magnetites and sulfides located in the rims of carbonate globules in the Martian meteorite ALH84001 have been claimed as evidence of past life on Mars. Here, we consider the possibility that the rims were formed by dissolution and reprecipitation of the primary carbonate by the action of water. To estimate the rate of these solution-precipitation reactions a kinetic model of magnesite-sider...
