Reactive Transport and Chemo-Mechanical Processes in Porous Media
Session ID#: 247640
Session Description:
Reactive transport and chemo-mechanical processes are central to a host of geologic systems, including carbon storage or mineralization, geologic hydrogen production and storage, geothermal energy production, critical mineral mining, and nuclear waste disposal. Despite advancements in experimental and numerical techniques we lack a comprehensive understanding of interconnections among distinct chemical, mechanical, and transport processes associated with reactive flow in porous media. This session welcomes experimental, theoretical, and numerical advances in coupled subsurface phenomena, with emphasis on geochemistry, reactive transport, chemo-mechanical couplings, and translation across scales. We encourage contributions that: Demonstrate how microscopic processes (e.g., nucleation, water-mineral interfaces, reaction-driven cracking, mineral dissolution and wormholing, pressure solution) affect larger-scale behavior Closely couple experimental investigations with pore-scale or Darcy-scale reactive transport simulations, including integration of high-resolution imaging techniques Address knowledge gaps in emerging applications, e.g., underground hydrogen storage or carbon mineralization Improve understanding of the interplay between geochemical, geomechanical, and hydraulic feedback mechanisms
