Reactive transport at the pore scale
Session ID#: 78851
Session Description:
Coupling of chemical reactions, solute transport, and fluid flow at the pore-scale control macroscopic geochemical behavior and evolution of fluid movement in porous media. These pore-scale reactive transport processes play a fundamental role in many natural and engineered Earth systems (e.g. critical zone evolution, resource emplacement and extraction, aquifer management, and groundwater contaminant mitigation). A thorough understanding of the coupling of physical and chemical processes at the pore-scale is needed to improve our ability to control and predict reactive subsurface systems. In this session, we broadly invite contributions on novel experimental, theoretical, and numerical techniques for measuring, visualizing, quantifying, and benchmarking reactive pore-scale processes. Presentations combining experimental approaches with numerical simulations are of particular interest. The goal of this session is to bring researchers together from a variety of fields to discuss recent progress and further advances in the science of microfluidic experimentation and simulation.
