Crystal Dissolution and Precipitation in Porous Media: Pore Scale Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
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 upscaled reactive solute transport model proposed in [12].

Crystal Dissolution and Precipitation in Porous Media: L-contraction and Uniqueness
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 ...
متن کاملA Numerical Scheme for the Pore-Scale Simulation of Crystal Dissolution and Precipitation in Porous Media
In this paper we analyze a numerical scheme for a dissolution and precipitation in porous media. We focus here on the chemistry, which is modeled by a parabolic problem that is coupled through the boundary conditions to an ordinary differential inclusion defined on the boundary. We use a regularization approach for constructing a semi-implicit scheme that is stable and convergent. For dealing w...
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 کاملHomogenization of a pore scale model for precipitation and dissolution in porous media
In this paper we employ homogenization techniques to provide a rigorous derivation of the Darcy scale model for precipitation and dissolution in porous media proposed in [19]. The starting point is the pore scale model in [12], which is a coupled system of evolution equations, involving a parabolic equation and an ordinary differential equation. The former models ion transport and is defined in...
متن کاملCompetition Among Flow, Dissolution, and Precipitation in Porous Media
A theoretical and experimental study has been carried out on flow, dissolution, and precipitation in porous media. Flow experiments were performed on linear carbonate cores using acidic ferric chloride solutions. Dissolution of the carbonate by the acid causes an increase in the solution pH, thereby precipitating ferric hydroxide. This precipitate plugs up the pore throats in the medium and inc...
