Crystal Dissolution and Precipitation in Porous Media: L-contraction and Uniqueness
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this note we continue the analysis of the pore-scale model for crystal dissolution and precipitation in porous media proposed in [C. J. van Duijn and I. S. Pop, Crystal dissolution and precipitation in porous media: pore scale analysis, J. Reine Angew. Math. 577 (2004), 171–211]. There the existence of weak solutions was shown. We prove an L1-contraction property of the pore-scale model. As a direct consequence we obtain the uniqueness of (weak) solutions.

A Stefan Problem Modelling Dissolution and Precipitation in Porous Media
A simple one-dimensional model for crystal dissolution and precipitation is presented. The model equations resemble a one-phase Stefan problem and involve nonlinear and multi-valued exchange rates at the free boundary. The original equations are formulated on a variable domain. By transforming the model to a fixed domain and applying a regularization, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a ...
متن کاملCrystal Dissolution and Precipitation in Porous Media: Pore Scale Analysis
In this paper we discuss a pore scale model for crystal dissolution and precipitation in porous media. We consider first general domains, for which existence of weak solutions is proven. For the particular case of strips we show that free boundaries occur in the form of dissolution/precipitation fronts. As the ratio between the thickness and the length of the strip vanishes we obtain the upscal...
متن کاملCrystal Precipitation and Dissolution in a Thin Strip∗
A two-dimensional micro-scale model for crystal dissolution and precipitation in a porous medium is presented. The local geometry of the pore is represented as a thin strip. The model allows for changes in the pore volume. A formal limiting argument leads to a system of 1D effective upscaled equations. The effective equations allow for travelling wave solutions. Existence and uniqueness of thes...
متن کاملInvestigation of Reversibility of Asphaltene Precipitation and Deposition for an Iranian Crude Oil
In this work, the precipitation and re-dissolution of asphaltenes were studied for an Iranian relatively heavy crude oil. A series of experiments were designed and carried out to quantitatively examine the reversibility of asphaltenes precipitation upon the change in the solvent concentration along with the temperature. n-Heptane was used as the precipitant, and a temperature range of 30 to...
متن کاملAn analysis of crystal dissolution fronts in flows through porous media part 2: incompatible boundary conditions
A model for transport of solutes in a porous medium participating in a dissolution– precipitation reaction, in general not in equilibrium, is studied. Ignoring diffusion– dispersion the initial value problem for piecewise constant initial states is studied, which e.g. for ionic species include a change of the ionic composition of the solution. The mathematical solution, nearly explicitly found ...
