Numerical Analysis for an Upscaled Model for Dissolution and Precipitation in Porous Media
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we discuss some numerical schemes for an upscaled (core scale) model describing the transport, precipitation and dissolution of solutes in a porous medium. We consider two weak formulations, conformal and mixed. We discuss the time discretization in both formulations and prove the convergence of the resulting schemes. A numerical study is presented for the mixed formulation.

Convergence analysis for a conformal discretization of a model for precipitation and dissolution in porous media
In this paper we discuss the numerical analysis of an upscaled (core scale) model describing the transport, precipitation and dissolution of solutes in a porous medium. The particularity lies in the modeling of the reaction term, especially the dissolution term,which has amultivalued character.We consider theweak formulation for the upscaled equation and provide rigorous stability and convergen...
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 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 کاملCrystal Precipitation and Dissolution in a Porous Medium: Effective Equations and Numerical Experiments
We investigate a two-dimensional micro-scale model for crystal dissolution and precipitation in a porous medium. The model contains a free boundary and allows for changes in the pore volume. Using a level-set formulation of the free boundary, we apply a formal homogenization procedure to obtain upscaled equations. For general micro-scale geometries, the homogenized model that we obtain falls in...
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...
